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? ---

> _Originally posted by slowcamaro_ > **i am sure you dont want to know what you 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 ---
