So I have decided to go with the Aviaid pan. I loose some
oil capacity yet gain a ton of 'piece of mind' and not have to worry about putting holes in my current pan from scraping.
Couple of questions:
1) What type of pan gasket do I use (aside from the steel reinforced rubber one piece)? This particular pan is notched along the rails. I have heard that you use a smooth gasket for notched rails and a ribbed gasket for smooth rails. Inputs? P/N's would also be appreciated.
2) Is there a gasket that goes between the pickup and the pump?
3) RTV ONLY at the corners where the gasket transitions from the rail to the crank?
4) Torque values for the pan bolts and
oil pick up bolts?
