One of the small oil pan my dad put in got cross up.I know the hole is deeper then the bolt goes in it.My dad ran a tap up it.I think I can get a longer bolt and catch some treads up higher in the block.Or what else should I do? The new oil pan worked great and the new one piece gasket is trick.Have any of you used one yet? ------------------

Ron,One oil pan bolt is not a big deal if you can get a couple threads, if you can't the heli-coil it.  SteveW

Thanks Steve that was the other thing I was thinking of doing.The heli coil that is. Have you used a one piece oil pan gasket yet.You dont use any sealant at all on it.And it has alittle metal inserts so you can't over thighten the pan bolts. I sure hope this motor runs ok and doesn't leak.My pops is putting alot trust into me on this one.

Ron,I would first try a stud or a piece of all-thread (threaded rod) to catch as many threads as possible. I would use a nut in that one position. If I wasn't happy with how many threads where holding the all-thread/stud, I would get some JB Weld and cement it into the hole. There isn't a lot of torque required for each bolt when attaching the oil pan.

I've used the one piece gasket on a few different motors, they work very well.------------------

Buy one of those ARP oil pan stud kits, you want to talk about a good use of money. Those little studs make putting on an oil pan gasket totally worry free.------------------

Stud kits kick ass.. its a shame though that the head studs prevent someone from removing the heads without pulling the motor on those early early year cars.
