shucks

 

I read through about the gasket i got a form in place gasket from toyota. I'm just waiting to see what I want to tear down now...since essentially...a lot of stuff is off.

 

I object. His link doesn't even work. Quick, yes. Simple, yes. To the point, what point would that be? Open to conjecture or conversation...well...am I talking to myself?
Nice one!

You're welcome!

When I posted the link in December it was working.
Thank you

 

we just sleaved Jacob's balancer and replaced his oil pump gasket and front seal it took about 1 hour start to finish he had a oil leak that looked very much like the one you are showing...oil pans can be very hard to remove. start with a heavy gasket scraper and tap it between the pan and the block and work your way around it will come off if you have removed all of the bolts....just my 2 cents

 

Everything is done and sealed up.
What I did was get a screw driver...hammer it in there a bit and then got a flat crow bar type deal and just put pressure on it til it started to give. I think it's still leaking though so either might have to do it again or check a different area. It looks like the front. This is my first time doing it so i dunno maybe I didn't seal it right but the back of the pan is the only area i had problems as far as sealing it does. I just decided to put some on my fingers and kinda spread it around on the pan on the back side. I think I have like half of the stuff left.

 

Did you get the pan all of the way out from under the truck?

 

I did, but i had to drop the front diff along with the oil pickup tube.





Used Permatex Copper Gasket Maker, Its been holding up great.

 

good good

 

So glad I have 2wd reg cab. XD
