I'm using Justin's gasket--saved my bacon, I couldn't get my pan to stop
leaking any other way. Well, any way short of a solid coat of gorilla snot.
Works wonderfully. I don't have any ground clearance to spare--all you need
to do is look at my pan to see how true that is. I'm probably going to shim
the front springs a little just to make up for the extra thickness--having a
replaceable gasket that doesn't leak is very worthwhile to me. In the
meantime I put a coat of JB weld on the bottom of the pan to see where I'm
dragging--kind of the Triumph-racers version of an F1 plank.

Subject: Oil pan gasket
Dropped the pan on my 67 TR4A last night, what a mess. Does anyone have a
recomendation for an oil pan gasket other that the fiber ones offered? Maybe
a nice silicone version similar to (but not as thick) as the valve cover
gasket Justin Wagner makes (hint, hint Justin). Something to avoid scraping
the gasket from the block while under the car.
Thanks
Mark
