Riff Raff oil pan gasket

caladash · Apr 8, 2014

Has anyone tried the oil tank gasket Riff Raff is now selling? I am a click away from ordering it! Just wondering if anyone has tried it yet!

Oh man....nomenclature police. 1000 pardons. Oil pan. I guess that's what happens when you work on turboshafts all day.

I've heard of one guy using it and said he's had no leaks so far. I plan on using one for my OBS build. Looking like i won't be able to flip the engine over and let it sit on a stand to cure the RTV as we don't have the space right now so the gasket will work perfect.

PLEASE post up how it works. I am 1-2 years from doing mine, (pan in the garage w/engine stand and cherry picker) and I really like the looks of that!

Very nice piece Clay has found!

Wilco on the results! I kept having nightmares of having to sealant my pan! Doing it wrong or to much or to little! This will definitely be nice!

He just called me now and updated me on mine also. Gonna make oil pan issues a breeze. Can't wait.

Yeah, been at Summit and Jegs for a while.
Maybe with a quality pan from Ford or IH it might be fine.
But if you go with a parts store pan, plan on LOTS of gray silicone. I'd never use the pre-made gasket on a parts store pan. Fact I hate the cheap parts store pans. I haven't used one of these gaskets yet, anyway, but it does look appealing.
