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 housing. 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 are flush or even. The rear
of the oil pan must NEVER protrude beyond the engine block and transmission housing
plane. • DO NOT use the oil pan gasket again. • It is not necessary to rivet the NEW gasket to the oil pan.
