Oil Pan gasket replacement

[SGT Estum]

My jackstands didn't go high enough to get the axle to droop with the tires on.

I would not have thought of that.

Gotcha, makes sense. I put mine on a lift so I didn't have an issue with the axle nor did I need to remove the starter. Although as luck would have it, now that i have the oil pan issue solved, my starter is done. Hopefully just the relay or solenoid. If I ever get off work I will start on that.

Well a quick update. Looks like the pan is solid, no leaks! I headed down to the local off road park with some friends of mine who helped me with the pan and we joined the SS group there for their spring rally. Drove the truck all day off road, and 2hr's round trip on the highway and not a drop of oil. ..... Now i need a lift kit for offroading and to show off this stylish lime green oil pan lol

For some reason whe I put the gasket on I cant get the holes aligned properyl. Any clue what I'm doing wrong?

Did you use the correct gasket for your engine?

Has anyone had a problem with the rear oil pan seal mating up? I have done it twice now with a big cork felpro gasket, rtv on both sides, and both times the rear seal has leaked. I used a little rtv on it. The replacement gasket seems a bit thicker than the original one that came with the truck.

next question, as I face doing the pan gasket and rear main on my 1009. Do these instructions also work for the 1009?

 

[The Baron]

Yeah it's the right one

Rtv isnt the right sealant for the joint where the rubber gasket meets the paper or cork gasket in the rear of the pan. Rtv cures with air, anaerobic sealant cures without air. So when you put together pieces rtv only just skins over and when your cdr clogs with oil it will pressurize the block and push out the rtv. Then the pan leaks.

Hello, What oil pan gasket number is the "right" number to order? I am in need of replacing mine also and can't seem to find a good number to order.

Thanks.

M1009 Oil Pan Gasket Part Number?

Hello, I have a 86 M1009 that needs a oil pan gasket replacement. I have not found a replacement part number for this gasket. Can someone supply me with this number? Also is it a two piece unit? Looks like there is a pan seal and also a curved seal at the back of the pan.

Thanks,

felpro# os34400 I like victor#os30591.

I prefer felpro myself but both work. stay away from the cheaper gaskets imo.

 

[jw4x4]

If the diagram is correct, it is a 4 piece set. Fel Pro OS34400.

 

[rnd-motorsports]

As stated fel-pro os34400 or victor os30591
