Oil pan gasket choice for big block mopar

Tex013 · 11-22-2021, 04:50 PM

Hi ,
what would be considered best oil pan gasket for a 440 mopar ?
Milodon tin oil pan in a 68 Satellite .
I have used cork/rubber , a couple bolts loosen and it weeps . Even with loctite or silicone on threads .
I have the Felpro #1808 , rubber/fibre core and #1834 steel core .
Preferences ?
I am using a World iron block .
Thanks .

Before damper and flex plate is in stalled and after pan is installed with any gasket, I put silicone all around the outside of the block/ pan joint.

The last one I used when I had my BB Mopar was a nylon one that had the windage tray built in. They make stroker version also. Never had a leak with it.

If you want to you can. Drop the drag link and trans. Remove flex plate and damper. While it’s off check a bearing or too. Clean and resemble. Not a piece of cake but doable.

wowser . no way Jose' !.
Thanks Larry but i might pass on that . I actually swapped in my transbrake transmission only 3 weeks ago . Had the pan off yesterday . I think its mostly wicking down a couple of bolts that line up with cap cross bolts . No time to check bearings needed to get home . Its my daily street/strip satellite .
