teddan Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 looks great, but the seal should be a little different for the upper oil pan? the seal should be on the outside instead of inside for some holes if I don't remember wrong... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra matt Posted November 12, 2012 Author Share Posted November 12, 2012 thanks for the reply mate ill double cheek and redo , if needs be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
listy Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 When I did mine I went completely round every hole. No problems for me so far. If the seal is inside the stud holes, can't see there being a problem. You surely would only have a problem if the seal was outside the stud holes, as that would maybe allow oil to seep down the threads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya thats what i thought and as you can see in the pics there is a hole bead round the inside where the surfaces have been bolted together so should be no where for the oil to escape , Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
