Steve,
If it comes to that, I've got a brand new oil pan and gasket sitting
here. Ordered it from Rusty, but sold the car before I got around to
installing it. I'd make you a good offer!

I have changed all oil pan gaskets on all 3 of my diesels; this latest
one, i felt a crack as i torqued down, now has small leak??
here is what i did; knocked bent in bolt holes on pan back to flat
again, used silicone, very thin layer on pan upper alum. part of
engine(upper oil pan???) as torqing, felt cracked gasket??; 1 back of pan
bolt ; used min. silicone so none would fall off get stopped by oil
pump filter screen
should i buy a gasket from Rusty, maybe better quality than other co.s
that get parts from world pack?, i think???(this one was not in plastic
bag? )
or could i back off 10% on torque; hope i used the correct formula to
convert ft lbs to inch pounds; multiply ft. lbs X 12 to get inch
lbs//correct??;
anyone had this crackng gasket problem before
oh; i used the same exact procedure on all three? (no others leak) CHEAP
GASKET MAYBE??
thanks, Steve
