<VV> [SCG] OIL PAN

[Bill Hubbell]

Thanks, George.  I was going to say the same thing.

That said, as you all know, I restored my 1964 sedan to Factory Stock class, which meant I had to use the early style pan and gasket.  They were both installed about 15 years ago and I still have yet to see any leaking from the pan, so the early style "can" work properly, so long as you are very careful to avoid over-torquing the bolts and distorting the pan.

Bob,

Good info. Not sure that anyone missed anything though, as the topic was
centered around the oil pan, and I don't remember seeing any questions
about the gaskets. Not saying it isn't germane to the topic either.

Eagerly awaiting the International Convention.
