OEM oil pan
Hi all need some help. Reciently installed a new oil pan and gasket and is just won't seal. I used a napa oil pan and 1 piece blue gasket, well to get to the point it leaks at the timing chain cover and the real near the main. Its the oil pan seal not the main itself. My stupid brother JB welded the dam thing in place so not sure how hard it will be to change it out again cause he used a hammer to try to seal it also. Anyway i need to know who has / sells a stock oem oil pan, i have been told the one from napa is after market and won't sell correctly without a few mods. Also the timing chain cover is new also will i have to replace that also since JB is on it? I don't have the time to do it so i will be taking it in to a shop for repair. 70.00 ducks an hour for labor i will pay for parts does that sound fair for Anchorage , AK...if anyone here is in Anchorage that knows of a good place let me know or if you can do the work holler at me.

Sounds like your first order of business is to repossess some wrenches.

You might try Summit. They sell a good line of oil pans, including the OEM style.

you should be able to remove the JB Weld with scotchbrite pad. It's tough epoxy, but it ain't steel. Don't know how much damage was done with the hammer, so that could be a problem. I've always used the four piece oil pan gaskets made by Felpro. The front and rear gaskets are rubber and the two sides are cork. The set comes with two rear gaskets - one is a little thicker than the other. To decide which one you need you put a straight edge across the bottom of the oil pan at the rear and measure from the bottom of the half circle up to the straight edge. If I remember right, if it measure 2 1/4" you use the thicker gasket, if it's 2 3/8" you use the thinner one - the instruction sheet will tell you for sure. I use permatex #2 to seal the front and rear gaskets to the block and the Permatex Ultra Blue RTV between the oil pan and the gasket. Also put RTV where the side gaskets and the end seals meet. Good Luck!
