Message: [QUOTE="JohnT24, post: 1558462, member: 11219"] It was interesting to see the amount of silicone from the factory. NOT An excessive amount Although there was some silicone squeezed out both inside and outside of the oil pan. Nothing that squeezed inside the oil pan ever left. So I assume Ford uses that method also….. letting the silicone cure properly. You can also see the extra on the inner corners. I never had a problem with the oil pan leaking, it was that poorly designed dipstick tube adapter that started leaking. I nursed it for several years with JB Weld and everything else. But when the exhaust manifolds went I decided to pull the engine and also do a little bodywork. Along with this stock pan I have decided to use the strictly diesel dipstick tube adapter. It’s a little pricey but if the O-ring(s) ever fail.. They are easily replaced since they are on the outside not the inside.
