What oil pan gasket?
I have a one piece rear main 305 in my '86. Like a crate engine, the block is drilled for a left or right side dipstick. Because of this, the block and the pan have the little bulge for the dipstick on BOTH sides.
I replaced the pan gasket with the Fel-pro one piece gasket that the book said it should use, but it only has the bulge for the dipstick on one side. The gasket had a big leak in the spot where the bulge was on the driver's side. I lost 2 quarts of oil in about 150 miles. The auto parts store can't come up with a gasket for it. The only gasket they can find with the dipstick bulge on both sides is for an '85, and it does not fit my pan. I think it is for a 2 piece rear main. Does anyone know a Fel-pro number for the gasket I need? My next step will be to go to the dealer. I'm sure they will have a gasket for it, but their hours are bad and their prices are really high.
