V8 Pan Gasket
IF THE IMAGE IS TOO SMALL, click it.
The quickest, easiest, and best way to change the oil pan gasket on a V8 is to lift the engine out. It takes less time & causes less pain and frustration than fighting the new gasket into position in-chassis, and it ALWAYS results in a better seal from the new gasket. It also allows the engine & bay to be cleaned, and the pan to be painted (so it doesn't rust through).
