One piece Fel-Pro???

That's what I'm using on my 351W build.

Via private message, I've heard the one pieces often leak.

Decided to go old school and call it a day.

You guys are making a mechanic out of me!

One piece came factor on my 96 351W.

One piece blue gaskets are the best!! I always had leaks with the cork gaskets, even with lots of silicon. The one piece design is far superior.

One piece for sure, the only place for cork is a wine bottle.....lol

Mine was factory gray and had sealant in the corners on the rear cap and timing cover. Some really grippy sealant too.....Probably "the right stuff"

Yep,the one piece blue gaskets are great,they have a metal strip inside to keep it flush with the pan surface,it's what I used on my 70 restomod Lubr build,

Some would contend that screw caps and synthetic closures are better for wine bottles because of the risk of TCA contamination that comes with natural cork.

Sorry, wine is something I know waaaaaaay more about than cars and trucks.

Any gasket, installed incorrectly, is prone to leaking...

I like the one piece gaskets. If you have to replace an oil pan with the engine still in the vehicle, you'll like the one piece gaskets too!!!

The one piece blue gasket....is it also by Fel-pro.....or a different co?

I have been running a one piece oil pan gasket for 24+ years now. Absolutely no leaks at all.
Really glad I did it.
They were a new thing back then so I was nervous.
I see now that it is the only way to go.

One more reason to buy it in the box.;D

Make sure you get the right one piece fel pro, there are two for the 302.

 

[Kim]

So....which one is right?

this is the one i put on mine last year. i liked the construction and ease of it so much i went back and bought some valve cover gaskets and put them on. FAR superior to any other gasket i have used over the years!

One is for the early style pan one is for the later, not sure of the part numbers. Be careful installing it they tend to get knocked out of alignment under the damper when you put the pan on.

Magnum gaskets are also very good and they try to keep as much USA made as possible.
