Re: Felpro One piece oil pan gasket sbc
.
These gaskets are designed to be reused as long as there are no obvious damaged portions. Note whether your gasket has the metal sleeves at the bolt holes to prevent crushing of the gasket.
I used a dab of silicone at transition points only at the corners but I don't think this was necessary ( BBC ).
Careful with the torque...as it's not as much as with a factory cork gasket due to the thickness of the Fel-Pro unit. If you have the metal sleeves you are less likely to have an issue here. Mine were 60 inch/lbs ( only 5 ft/lbs ) for main pan bolts.
