Guest Zachb55 Posted September 25, 2003 Share Posted September 25, 2003 hey guys, i got the "high performance" oil pan gasket from MSA and ever since i installed it i've had a nice leak coming from the passenger rear side of the oil pan through the seal. i figured that maybe the fact that it was a competition gasket and i had already cranked down on it a couple times there must be something wrong with the gasket itself... what has been your luck with these? anybody else have leaking? i havent put like any miles on my car yet, just been drippin since i installed it a couple weeks back. -Zach Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnc Posted September 25, 2003 Share Posted September 25, 2003 cranked down on it a couple times You mean you've re-used it a couple times? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest norm[T12SDSUD] Posted September 29, 2003 Share Posted September 29, 2003 I have always had to use the gray stuff to seal the oil pans completely no matter how good the gasket. The Nissan techs where I used to work coated ALL of their oil pan gaskets in the GRAY sealant because they knew for sure that they wouldn't have to do it again for free due to small leaks!

Cody 82 ZXT Posted September 30, 2003 Share Posted September 30, 2003 Sounds like you've overtightened it to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
