Hook n ladder 1 Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 My oil pan is rotting and starting to leak oil. It's a 98 Ch613 with an E7-427 (reman engine installed in 2008). Once I get the pan and gasket kit is there any tricks I should know about or is it unbolt old one clean the surfaces and install the new one? Thanks in advance.

davehummell Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Glue the gasket to the pan with contact cement I just payed 84.00 for a pan gasket so you don't want to buy two of them.

Hook n ladder 1 Posted January 20, 2020 Author Share Posted January 20, 2020 How much difficulty am i going to have getting the old bolts out? Should I put new bolts in it or do can I get a bolt kit for it? I had a nightmare last night of breaking the bolts off. Should I Lock-Tite the new bolts?

alex g Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 All my bolts came out 2000 CH. Some near front were a bit difficult I think I used a swivel and extension but it wasn't a bad job. I reused bolts Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/60592-changing-oil-pan/#findComment-440910 Share on other sites More sharing options...

NO DO NOT Lock tight the bolts ! if you want put a dab of silicone on the threads locktight is too viscous!
