Dorman Oil Pan

[grasscutter]

Today the car slipped off the jack and destroyed my oil pan.

I'd need a flat gasket for the Dorman oil pan. Flat gaskets are not available anywhere!

All gaskets are silicone made to fit the recess of the factory pan!

This time I don't feel like crawling around in salvage yard to pull a factory pan, but I might have to.

Please see pictures below.

Bead of Hondabond/Permatex/Loctite (Insert your favorite anaerobic sealant here) would work just fine I would think. There's millions of Honda's running around from the factory like that.

I'm wondering why Dorman changed the gasket surface knowing full well that none of the gaskets available would work.

This is a factory type gasket here. It's made to sink down into the grand canyons of the original GM oil pan.

What vehicle/engine does your pan fit?

This is the kind of part (oil pan) that I would probably go to ebay to find.
