Milodon oil pans and gaskets
 
Does anyone know if the Milodon pans require the use of the Milodon gasket. I had one before and never a problem with oil dripping. Now I don't have one but instead have a stock gasket and it seems to leak a bit. the difference being the stock gasket is 4 pieces and cork. The Milodon was a 1 piece and rubber.

Don't know if it helps you but I have Milodon gaskets on an FE and like them better than FelPro composite. It's a quality gasket.

I personally have had success with the Felpro 1810 (two piece rubber impregnated pan seals with individual rubber end seals), with Black Permatex Ultra. I also put a small smear on the pan rail side for insurance and (knock on wood) never a leak. I suppose these are considered composite gaskets because they are not 100% rubber nor 100% cork. But they work well.

I may just go out and buy another milodon gasket but I have a hard time with the crazy price they get for it.

I've had my pan off three times in the last 18 months...trust me, I can now do this with my eyes closed. Felpro makes a good pan gasket.

EDIT: That reads weird...great gasket yet I removed my pan so many times. :LOL:
1. Replaced crank and rod bearings when oil pressure started to dip
2. Failed fuel pump eccentric...#$&@#* major PITA for a $2.00 dowel pin
3. oil pan cracks needed rewelding

I previously had a Milodon Pan and used McCord High performance gaskets which had a metal washer at each stud hole intended to prevent the gasket from being compressed too thin. I never had any leakage. I late swiched to a one piece gasket that had a similar washer at each hole. I think it was made by Victor, or maybe Felpro, again...no leaks.

Wish somebody made FE gaskets like that. Is McCord still in business or bought up by somebody? Cometic? Detroit Gasket?:confused:

Yes Rick, I have experience with these Felcoid typre gaskets in GM apps and they work very well. I believe they make sets for Windsor/ Cleveland apps but not FE.
I think it's because FE's are one piece and SBF's are four piece gaskets.
