oil pan gasket
couldnt find anything in the search, if theres already a thread give me a link
87 xj 4.0 i need to change the oil pan gasket, in doing research ive seen some people say i need to drop the axle....is this so how hard is this going to be |
also, is it better to get theone piece gasket or the four piece, the one piece seems easier to install

Just did mine. Used the one piece gasket. Removed lower shock bolts, track bar, and sway bar. Droped pan cleaned Everything , Used a thin amount of black silicone in the block put the gasket on the block put in a few bolts to hold it up there , walked away for an hour or to ( to let the rvt cure went back installed pan. Put it all back together. 5 hrs total. Oh and did the rear main seal while i was under there (mine was leaking) overall not a bad job to do..
|
those videos did help, and i was thinking of replacing the rear main at the same time, mines not leaking but i know its a commen seal to fail so might as well replace it while the pan is off
|
I watched his videos over and over for a week. Before i did mine. LOL. Helped ALOT.
|
im going to put them on my phone in case i run across something during the job lol
do you know thw tourqe specs for the cap |
80lbs. on the rear main cap. If i remember correctly.

One piece Gaskets are great!
Felpro and Victor usually give you plastic gasket holders that make it real easy. If you already have a one piece gasket the oil pan only need to be lowered, not removed! Goes for any vehicle/engine with a one piece gasket. You should replace your rear main bearing oil seal when you have the pan out!! |
