Oil Pan gasket & Rear main seal?
I am replacing the oil pan gasket in a 396 I bought. I bought Victor gaskets, are the good ones? The front and rear ones are rubber and I guess the sides are also but I havent removed them from the package yet. While removing the oil pan I knocked off the oil pick up from the oil pump. I don't know what the engine milage is other that what the PO told me. I am thinking of replacing the rear main seal while I'm at it just for insurance. Could someone tell me the torque on the bolts for the rear main cap since I will be removing it to replace the rear main seal and replace the oil pick up. BTW, what is the procedure to replace the oil pick up tube? It did'nt look like it was bent or anything from where I knocked it off while removing the oil pan. Is there a tool I need to use when replacing it?
