Here is my fix for the rubber rear seal leak problem. Second pic shows how I attach the pick-up tube so it doesn't fall out.

I buy a sheet of cork gasket material and cut it precisely to fit with a razor knife. Never had one drop of oil get past this set-up. The factory rubber seals can and will leak or slip out on you. The wide custom fit cork seal isn't going anyplace.

Never tried the one piece pan seal, but probably well worth the investment over the factory set-up for the later pans that used the "tit" type rubber rear pan seals......Cliff

It appears you use studs instead of bolts on your engine stand ?

Does that work easier ? OGR

I need to resurrect this thread...

Cliff, do you double-up that cork gasket to get the needed thickness?

The cork sheets are 1/2 the thickness of the cork supplied in the Felpro gasket kits. And with the Butler 1-piece torqued down I still have a gap of about 7/32".

Do you glue the cork using silicone gasket maker, or some other glue like Gorilla Glue?

I realize the Butler 1-Piece is thicker than the Felpro black gasket and the Felpro cork gasket so that might explain the gap. (I have all 3 types at my disposal)

Cliff are those studs to bolt oil pan on? Also looks like a SD on stand.
