[TR] TR6 oil pan gasket

[ptegler]

agreed.... suggest lifting the motor a bit...makes it easier. (undue 
motor mounts)

lay the gasket on the glass, lay down a bead and set the pan on it. The 
idea is to create a super flat gasket surface that will meet the block 
upon re-assembly. The sealant between pan and gasket takes up all the 
divits, dents non flat spots of the pan.

I do this same procedure on my valve cover gaskets. Makes it VERY easy 
to remove and reinstall multiple times without issue as the Hylomar 
never sets but seals extremely well.
