Car Quest Oil Pan Gasket
I just bought a oil pan gasket from them. It is rubber and specific to the lt1. Do you think it is as sufficient as an oem? It was a like $10 less than the dealer. Should I just go to the dealer or is a rubber gasket a rubber gasket?

it will be fine as long as the bolts are thightened as they should and silicone is applyed around the corners and ends. the only way for a one peace gasket to leak is having the bolts come loose or the silicone at the ends stops sealing
|
Ok, that's good to hear. Thanks jtk.
As far as the sealant is concerned, how do you make sure it's a good seal? Looking at the leak area, I even had excess sealant hanging over the lip of the half moon area and it still leaked. Maybe I used too much last time? |
car quest is good stuff, ive used it for years
|
Ahhh... real gaskets don't require silicone. ;)
... IE> Felpro oil pan gasket. :) |
Car Quest stuff is fine, we use their stuff everyday at our shop. You'll find that Victor Renz makes that gasket.
|
Yup, it's that victor reinz gasket. Car quest told me that the local dealerships usually call them for parts like that as well.
