Oil pan gaskets

1969 beep beep · May 9, 2019

Hi,

I am going to be using a new set of Superformance oil pan gaskets with a windage tray.

The motor was assembled with Permetex Right Stuff. I had a hard time removing the leaky oil pan. That stuff is like cement.

What does everyone recommend. Right stuff or ultra black on the gaskets? I just want to run a small bead for insurance. I am using a new oil pan and windage tray.

Need to use a non hardening sealer. You want a flexible seal.

I would contact the Superformance tech line and hear it from them. I'm going to replace my leaky oil pan gaskets too and will probably do the same.

For a big block I bought one of these its a windage tray and gaskets all rolled into one item. https://www.jegs.com/i/JEGS/555/502001/10002/-1

The Superformance oil pan gaskets will have an instruction sheet with them...a light smear of BLACK rtv on both sides of both gaskets. The key to a good pan seal is flat rails, flat tray, and don't overtighten those bolts. And the surfaces need to be completely cleaned of any oils, dirt, etc...

I just talked to Greg @ superformance last week and he said a small amount of your favorite sealer at the timing cover and rear seal cap, and that is all.

No need to coat the whole thing. Just a damn mess then.

Call him and ask, Greg is a super helpful person.

Thanks for the kind words.

For a couple extra dollars his gaskets are the best I've used(that goes for the accessory gaskets too) I chickened out on the newer one-piece tray/gasket setup after reading too many bad reviews..
