joys of older vehicles

So I had to change the oil pan gasket in my truck and when I got it off I found all kinds of neat stuff in there. I found half of the dipstick and rtv sealer, which also clogged over half of the oil pump. What kind of retard seales the oil pan with rtv instead of spending the 30 minutes and $10 for a new gasket?

:bigok:

I hear ya. I had to fix all kinds of stuff while I was in there. The retard even put the fan shroud on upside down. I can’t wait to see what else I will find.

Yep, the starter is acting up. Like it’s not hitting the ring gear. I’m afraid I have the wrong bellhousing on it.

What do you expect for $400

my manual [dealer manaul] for my mx6’s says use rtv! for oil pan!

but i went to autozone and saw they made a cork gasket so of course i went the easy way out…

vw uses silcone for their gasket…

do they make a gasket for it or do you just run a bead of silicone and call it a day?
