Re: Restoring Rusty - LR4 4.8L oil pan gasket remove and replace
one thing I always do when I buy an engine off a car is remove the oil pan from the engine and clean the crud out of the oil pan, this is a good idea for a number of reasons:
1. it tells you how well the previous owner(s) (mis)treated the vehicle, ha ha
2. it prevents the 20 year old crud from contaminating new oil and straining the new oil fiters
this brings us to LS Lesson Learned #2.
The factory stock oil pan gasket in riveted on in two places to the oil pan and those rivets need to be drilled out in order to replace the gasket
the Greg did not know that
