Thanks for reading my mind. With my engine/trans assembly starting, I've been contemplating the same topic.
The first thing that I am going to encounter in the crate motor modification is the
oil pan. I have a one piece rubber
oil pan gasket with steel inserts at the bolt holes. Do I need to use adhesive and/or sealant with this type of gasket? How much do I torque the
oil pan bolts?
How about the paper gasket that comes with the oil pickup?
