<VV> Bellhousing gasket trim for oil pan

[Frank DuVal]

Which gasket?

If the paper gasket sticks out that's fine except at the bottom where it 
interferes with the oil pan gasket. If that's where it's long, trim the 
gasket with a razor blade or such. It should be flush with the bottom 
edge of the bellhousing.

A **little** RTV there (Right Stuff tm) is OK. I use Hi Tack or spray 
copper for that gasket.
