RJC oil pan

[Sick6]

RJC cork gasket gave me a major leak. Recommend Rubber felpro, even though the RJC pan does not have the anti-crush dimples? or should I use right stuff gasket maker?

Do not use the rubber unit. If the cork did not work something was done incorrectly during installation.Overtorqueing, surface preparation ect.. I will not use anything but cork.

i also have to double check the main stud-to-pan clearance. I knocked it out with a ball peen hammer, maybe it needs more

I had to do the same thing with my 14bolt RJC oil pan, but now that its on it has been the first oil pan not to leak @ all. get the RJC cork gasket its thick much better then the felpro one.
