FEL-PRO oil pan gasket
has anyone tryed a fitted Oil pan gasket? FEL-PRO to be exact..
my Oil pan gasket has been leaking a few months after the turbo was installed.im guessing the liquid/glue gasket isnt working very well..Im taking it back to Mahdavi tmr. Hopfully its covered under warrenty.
My FEL-PRO oil pan gasket ripped in 6 places. Resulted in my engine not having any oil in it 2 days after installing it with a new filter, and Royal Purple oil.
Gonna get it replaced tomorrow, for the fourth time....

ha ok,i just want to make sure the installer gets it right this time,so it wont leak again..
to doi t right: Clean oil from block with brake clean and dry towel. Put a small amount of silicone where the oil pump meets the block and the plate that holds the rear main seal meet the block. install gasket on factory supplied studs. Install CLEAN oil pans so all holes in pan match up with all hole in the gasket. Torque bolts and nuts to 10 ft/lbs.
You can print that out for them nd paypal me 50 buck for tech support. LMAO!!!
i use then all the time on customer cars just doing routine maintenance stuff like that. never really had an issue.
F-23's dont use gaskets for the oil pan from the factory, make sure you use Ultra gray, or honda bond, and get all the old off (its hard I have done it 3 times on mine) lol...

honda bond is a plus for shure
LET ME GUESS... YOU MISSED A GEAR!
They want to charge me $125 for changing the gasket-they want to put a 97 accord rubber gasket on..
Leaking toward the front of the tranny.
-also charge me $35 for new valve cover gasket
-Says Distributor O-Ring is leaking
-Pass.Axle seal has residue-$92each.
125 for the oil pan is a far price. 35 for valve sounds good. o-ring is common. for the axles if thats 92 installed its a good deal.
I use Fel Pro all the time with no issues.
well i didnt know, because i can get the Oilpan gasket gasket for $19.99.and 5 quarts of oil for prolly less than $50..
the other leaks or whatever didnt really bother me,just dont like pulling out and seeing a oil spot on the floor in the garage..
I have always had problems with the fel-pro's being too long.
call mainstream.
shops markup parts just like retail stores do. if u want that warranty u just live with it an move on.well i didnt know, because i can get the Oilpan gasket gasket for $19.99.and 5 quarts of oil for prolly less than $50..

Felpro makes good stuff...
I have never had an issue with FelPro.... just don't over tighten and make sure both surfaces are clean as already stated.... but another thought... if you are running a pressurized PCV system since you are boosted the crankcase gases can't escape as usual so they come out of weak places like oil pan gaskets, and crank seals etc.... so just a thought if you haven't modded up a catch can or anything....
Ran a Felpro oilpan gasket once on my gsr, and the sh!t blew out in two spots 2days later. Replaced it with an OEM gasket, and havent had any problems since. OEM gaskets ftw!

Yeah man, I got it a day or two right after I ordered it. Thanks again man. Btw, its not quite the same color as the greddy, but its good for my color scheme in my engine bay. The gates is a lighter shade of blue than the greddy. its all good, it worked out good for me
