Installation Procedure
IMPORTANT:
The alignment of the structural oil pan is critical. The rear
bolt hole locations of the oil pan provide mounting points for
the transmission bellhousing. To ensure the rigidity of the
powertrain and correct transmission alignment, it is
important that the rear of the block and the rear of the oil pan
must NEVER protrude beyond the engine block and
transmission bellhousing plane.
Do not reuse the oil pan gasket.
It is not necessary to rivet the NEW gasket to the oil pan.
