hello...another trick to no leaks is use RTV on front and back of oil pan and gaskets , BUT DO NOT TIGHTEN FULLY FOR 24 Hrs.... this way the RTV can set up and create seal...fully tightening immediately can cause a premature leak ,if not immediately,due to RTV squeezing out.....after 24 hrs snug bolts up tight......have fun....
