skishop69 Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 Does anyone make a non-cork pan gasket? Maybe a rubber/neoprene one? I'm finally getting around to replacing the crank and rod in the XT GL10 and the one I just put in is leaking (no suprise!). If not, I'm going to ultra grey the pan.

daeron Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 some people like to fully coat the cork gasket with RTV, let it dry, and then use it. Apparently it works well, but I haven't done it myself.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j2coe Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 gasket aside that's one thing I would buy after market if I ever found one. an oil pan with a realy stiff edge that would seal. I don't think I've seen one that didn't leak some, usually some one over tightened it some where along the way and they are never flat again.

Apparently it works well, but I haven't done it myself.. I like to use wheel bearing grease on both sides of a cork gasket. Seeps into the gasket and helps lessen leakage, since it's thicker than any oil. I also use it on oil filter gaskets and drain plug threads. Now I never have any leaks there.

Ross Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 I have seriously thought about taking to my sump with a caulking gun and a whole lot of RTV........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4x4_Welder Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 I have had good luck with Ultra Gray, and with using Hi-Tack on the gasket. You could always get some neoprene gasket material to cut one out of, but you'd better bend over now to prepare for the cost.........

j2coe Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 or buy a used wet suit at good will and make it out of that and watch your engine compartment catch fire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinksock Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 the best thing i found to use is " Right Stuff" it comes in a can and its the only thing the guys at my dealership will use to reseal the oil pans here!! Tony~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivantruckman Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 i always put the pan on a flat metal surface and use a flat headed punch and painstakingly straiten or flatten the oil pan, the stock gasket works fine with rtv Grey , if the oil pan sealing surface is flat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
