oil pan seals
I'm putting things back together and have got the timing chain cover on OK.
I'm pretty sure I need to pull the seal from the rear of the block out and install a new one. The old one seems pretty stuck, probably lots of rtv. Just wanted to check before I create more problems for myself. |

If you are referring to the rubber seal that fits into the groove on the outside of the rear main, yes, pull it off, clean up the groove and replace the seal.

Yup! That's the one. I was afraid to pull on it too hard until I talked to someone.

Yes, those one piece fel pro oil pan gaskets are the only way to fly for a no leak seal.
