Installed without raising up the engine
Staff Reviewer -
Gasket kit was missing the 4 installers, Advanced Auto replaced them at my local store.
My engine was leaking oil from the rear. I thought it was the Main Seal and replaced it (had to pull the transmission, what a job)Still had the leak when put back together, it was the oil pan gasket.
I have read that you must raise the engine to change the oil pan gasket, NOT SO if you are just changing the gasket.
Just drain the oil and remove filter, take out the pan bolts. Once you drop the pan, you will have a little over an inch of space between the pan and the block (I removed the starter also for more room). Get the old gasket out, be careful not to get any in the pan (mine was a one piece rubber in bad shape but it came out Ok, I cut it to remove it) CLEAN AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE!! Install the new gasket over the pan from underneath, it will spread wide enough to fit over the pan. Install dry, Don't use sealant. Use the guides but be very carful NOT to drop them in the pan.
Bolt the pan back up remove the guides and replace those bolts, fill with oil and filter and pat youself on the back for a job well done and for saving a few hundered dollars.
NO MORE LEAKS!!!
This was Done on a 1992 F150 5.0 engine.
Fel Pro and Advance Auto is the way to go!
Thank you for a NO LEAK Truck again.

high quality product
I have a 93 ford f150 that had a substantial oil leak. I feared that it was the rear main seal but was hoping it was the pan gasket. I did not raise the engine, just lowered the pan, removed the old pan gasket, fished the new one around the pan and fastened the pan. It took several hours and a lot of patience but the leak is totally stopped. There is only about 2 inches of space to work with. This gasket is in one piece. I don't think i would try this method with 4 individual pieces. Feels like it is a very durable product.

Great Oil Pan Gasket
Very easy to install, plastic studs hold gasket in place while bolting up pan, no extra sealants required, just clean and dry the contact surfaces and bolt up. Have had mine on for 2 months now and still no leaks.
