Going to be installing a new oil pan gasket kit due to my old one is starting to mark its territory a little too much and wonder if everyone is still using the FelPro -OS 5153C for their 235. Mine is a '62.

Cheers

I've used Fel-pro (no part no's, sorry) and prefer the rubber end pieces of the gasket set for the newer(?), not straight sided pan. My late '55 235 pan is straight sided but that set has the cork end pieces which are a booger for me to install. So I bought both kits. In the past for my 216 I always used cork ends and it always leaked. Now thanks to the rubber end pieces that flare on each side to provide more overlap of the side pieces, ZERO leaks. So for me, it's idiot proof. grin

I've used both with equal success. I used to think the rubber ones were better. I'm not sure anymore.

Thanks for the replies. When you say rubber end pieces, as shown here?

This is the Felpro OS 5153 C, which I was planning on using again.

Yep that looks like the end pieces I used.
