[Roadsters] Oil pan gasket

[ljordan704 at netscape.net]

 On my car Permatex non hardening sealant #2? was used on both surfaces. Be sure the surfaces are clean of all previous gasket material. Then it was tightened from the center out for a total of about 4-5 passes. Overkill to tighten that slowly but it does not leak.

Oil pans and gaskets are interchangeable between the 1600 and 2000.  Notee 
that, on the pan, there is a raised ridge on  the mating edge.  If you 
overtighten the bolts, that ridge will crush the cork gasket and create 
leaks.  I used Permatex RTV on the last one I installed.?

Since none of my torque wrenches can be relied upon at 3.5 foot-pounds, I 
just tighten the bolts with my hand around the head of the rachet so I 
cannot put too much torque on things, and make sure I just compress the lock 
washers -- no more.  With the RTV in there, you don't need much.  Let the 
RTV cure before you fire up the motor.?
