Project BeepBeep – Oil Pan Gasket Part III

By | | , , , , , , , , , , , ,
1 Comment

Wrapping up the oil pan gasket and what’s next for the 68 RoadRunner?

Take a look:


I have to add my note and this might rub someone the wrong way but I am going to toss it out here.

I took my 1970 Mustang to a shop run by a guy I trust with my cars.  After getting the Mustang back I leaked from two spots.  When I asked his mechanic about the said  “Old cars leak.”   That phrase really irritates me every time I hear it.   This day in age with all the improvement in gaskets from rubber to rubber coated metal to make your or form you own, this just no reason for your car to leak.  After the incident above, I took my Mustang home and replaced the gaskets and drove it for about a week and then went back to my friends shop and had the mechanic look under the car…it was bone dry.

Unless you have a part that can’t be found there is almost no reason, given all the options, for your old car to leak.   Having said that, Bill makes a good point – there are times when a leak, a non-engine killing leak, becomes to expensive or time consuming to fix.   But if I know Bill, you’ll be seeing a video with him fixing all the leaks.    (;^o)

Thanks for reading.
