() Date: November 23, 2022 06:37PM What is the best choice regarding the material? I always used Fel-Pro but the Pix don't look like they used to. Re: Oil pan gasket choice Posted by:

() Date: November 23, 2022 06:50PM I like the material John Sweet sells. It's more rigid than rubber or cork/rubber so you can actually tighten the bolts without the gasket squishing out. I seem to have better luck with this material with a Late pan with the positive ribs than an Early pan with the negative recesses.

I know there was a period of time he could not get it due supply chain issues. -Tom ![]() 63' Monza Spyder Convertable (in process) MY Build Thread 62' Wagon rebuild MY Build Thread 65' Monza MY Build Thread 73' NovaSS 454 Big block (Sold) 86' BMW 325es 67' UltraVan 211 "Violet" NFCC, UMCC Grand Island, NY Re: Oil pan gasket choice Posted by:
