Oil pan spray - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Putting my oil pan back on 3rd time, leaked around crank first time, 2nd time is shooting a stream like a squirt gun from one small spot. I used indian head sealer on gasket, allowed an hour setup time. Any one know any tricks to seal this area?
Thanks for any help

If it's squirting out, it sounds like you might have alot of presure in the crankcase. I would check my pcv system. I use a sealer called Hondabond. I know, it's made by Honda, but it is the best sealer I have ever found, and really oil resistant. It's $24 for a 1.9 oz tube at the dealer, but I've seen it for about 1/2 of that on E-Bay.

Good advice, will check vaccum on PVC system, will also look into "Hondabond".

2 thumbs up on the Hondabond, great stuff!

Is the mating surface of your oil pan straight and true? What oil pan gasket are you using? I really like the one piece re-usable Fel-Pro oil pan gasket. A little expensive, but it doesnt leak!
