PWB Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 Happy New Year Gang! Gussy up the underbelly. Got my powder coated oil pan from Santa. (TA) TA Performance lists two different thickness oil pan gasket sets for the 430: 1/8 or 3/16. I remember on Chevy small blocks different casts called for one or another and could not be swapped on same? Is this an issue here? Also my rear main don't leak. Leave it alone? Thanks 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

68RIVGS Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 Not sure on gasket thickness Mr. Paul, surely others better informed will chime in ! If that rear main doesn't leak, as most do, why try and fix it ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmTee Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 If the rear seal is dry, I certainly wouldn't mess with it... Have you removed the old pan yet? If so, how big a hassle was that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, how big a hassle was that? No removal yet. Nothing wrong with the old pan but I wanted one painted, ready to go. New pan has a magnetized plug. Waiting for all the parts and tips. Service manual says remove fan shroud, disconnect shift link then lift the motor a bit just to clear the pan. I dont get the different gasket dims. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
