real bolts right on
« on: March 23, 2019, 10:04:16 AM »
Been on the side line for a while watching the one piece pan gasket. Short history, came to market about 6-7 years ago. Blue in color and rigid .... the idea was good the execution bad.
Learning about a new and improved one piece, and now available in black. Sparked an interest again.

Changed the pan gasket last year, cork after awhile shrinks and weeps. Running the pan bolts solves nothing.

The current gasket, not dripping oil when parked. However running it has some blow-by happening. Misting the side of the pan enough it collect dirt and looks nasty over the chrome.

With a black one piece now offered research began. Found Milodon the manufacture of it, hello Summit send me one. With my tire order, spend over a 100 bucks, free shipping. And Summit 60 miles down the road, it is always next day

Get the order, see this small box ...... crap the wrong part the sent.  Pictures tell the rest of the story.

3 things to notice

1 flexable & black
2 gasket goes on the pan first
3 anti crush spacers, prevent over tightening

They did the home work on this,  one of not many bolts right on pieces..

GM 4.3 uses that shitty blue one you speak of in hyster forklifts. They constantly leak. Would be nice to see if we could get these new ones.

Good to know -- I hate cork/cellulose pan gaskets; they always disappoint.

I had one of those on my trans pan on the 98. I liked it enough that I never replaced it. ;D

That looks like a well engineered gasket pep. Oil leaks drive me crazy.
