2005 3/4 4X4 5-9 cummins pan leak
We had the engine rebuilt and the old pan had some rust spots nothing through but we bought a new pan. Now after a few nights of frustrating work we finally got it in and running ! But.. the pan is leaking, tried tightening but no help. I have been wondering if there is a different gasket we should have used or someway to stop it without pulling the engine or transmission?
Thanks |

We use Ultra Gray silicon to seal the gaskets on pans on race engines

Re: 2005 3/4 4X4 5-9 cummins pan leak
It's a single piece gasket, hard to screw up especially with the engine out for overhaul but sh*t happens. That's a stamped steel pan. Could it be distorted? The gasket can be changed w/ out removing the engine or trans. Not much clearance between oil pan and cross member so lifting the engine is a must. Be happy it's not a gas engine or you would be pulling the trans. I always load up extra silicone in the corners. Ultra Gray is very good but any RTV should do. Buy an OEM gasket too.
