Look what we found while installing a Vortech today. Big nasty strip of excess gasket sealer almost completely covering the screen in the oil pickup. The oil pan had never been off the car so this is how it came from Nissan. Looking up into the pan you could actually see where this came off because there was still some hanging loose on either side where the upper oil pan meets the block.

 

nice. too bad honda is the only one that uses a real oil pan gasket.

 

Same thing happened to me when we were doing all of my motor work. the whole sump screen was covered....

 

This car never ceases to amaze and confound me. Thanks for the heads up.

Hey Blownaway, how about shortening up that sig? Try horizontal layout....your sig is my entire screen.

 

much thanks to lorca and the guyz at z1motorsports for this find, wonder what nissan would have to say about that ?

 

Hows that? I dont know how to do the fancy signatures...

 

hey backagain, i met you at Z1...how did the install come out?

 

well, it's still going, pm me and i'll give you the details. should be done tomorrow or no later than tuesday hopefully. looks good so far though

 

Nice! Send me a nice pic of your car and I will make you a nice sig.

Yeah except almost everyone that puts a new one on has leaking problems.
