Re: The Blue Goose

There are two different gaskets depending on the radius of the curved portion of the oil pan under the timing cover: thin 2 1/4", and thick 2 3/8". That could be it.

Other than that, the gasket surfaces must be clean as a whistle and flat. If it is a Felpro kit, read the instructions thoroughly. Torque all the bolts with a torque wrench. It's a long and tedious job if you are crawling underneath.

There's also a pan that adapts for either left or right dipstick - there are blocks that have provisioning for either left or right dipstick, though whichever one isn't used gets plugged. The pan has curves on both sides for the dipstick specifically for this and uses QOS34510T gasket.

This [pan] is like mine.
