351w oil pan gasket

So after pulling the transmission for my 4R70W swap and expecting to replace the RMS, I found the seal to be in fine shape, it was the fel-pro one piece rubber gasket leaking at the back and a bit on the front.

It's a 94 engine, through block dipstick and aftermarket pan with flat rails. I did use rtv in the corners of the mains as instructed. I have read alot of threads about it and experiences seem to be all over. Any ideas or advice?

used the fel pro rubber in mine with the locator pins. worked pretty well

I have used them on other engines successfully. I am going to take a close look at the pan, I am suspicious of it! Lol

have a brand new truck pan and gasket if you need it

Good to know, thanks!

I confirmed my suspicions, the outer corners of the pan were higher than the sides. I was able to make that surface all even so hopefully it will seal better.
