I had to pull the
oil pan off of the small-block Chevy in my Lister over the weekend. I have had problems maintaining
oil pressure under braking or in corners, and after pulling the pan it's easy to see why--there is no baffling whatsoever in the pan. I am sending it off to be modified.
I am curious as to recommendations for the gasket when I re-install it. There are numerous companies offering one-piece gaskets, some of whom claim that no gasket sealer is required. I haven't installed an
oil pan in about 18 years and appreciate any input on whether to go with a one piece gasket or stick with the "old" style multi-piece set, whether to use gasket sealer regardless of whether the gasket maker says it's required or not, etc. The engine is still in the car, so I'll be reinstalling the pan from the underside and want to make the process as painless as possible--
Thanks,
Bob
