So, I installed my oil pan (2003) onto my 6.7 block.
I was under the engine looking up, and was torquing the bolts to 16ftlb.
I get up and see two things:
The bolts are stupid long. Both ESN's I use are calling for 25mm bolts.
The pan gasket split in 4 places along the driver side.
We took a hammer and knocked the holes in the pan back out before it went to powder coat. They were dimpled to the block side.
To make things even better, I put loctite on the bolts, and aircraft sealer on the gasket.
It's going to be a mess when I pull it apart.
So, what gasket number do I need to put on this thing? This one was the pink paper with printed blue seal. 493- part number I think. The structure kit came with a white gasket also.
