[6pack] [TR] Replacing oil pan gasket

[Robert Lang]

Hi,

To the advocates of using sealant on both sides of the gasket, I need to 
ask - with sealant on both sides, how do you remove the pan without 
cocking up the gasket? Not that you'd ever need to remove the pan.

:-)

I always seal to one surface (usually the surface on the part that is 
removed to perform service) and assemble dry to the other surface. This 
way the part can wiggle when you install and the whole thing can come 
apart for service when needed and in a lot of cases (like the oil pan) you 
can re-use the gasket.

Then again, I'm not a mechanic by trade...
