Most of the dismantlers just poke a hole in the pan to drain the fluid.
I also get alot of pans so bent up or damaged that I would have to spend
alot of time straightening.
Good thing Ragusa made these pans and they look good specially with the
final drive cover.
Sealing the aluminum pans has been challenging. Chuck Stoddard liked the
aluminum pans and had some success sealing them with a grey RTV made in
Cincinnati but it was hard to find. I started coating the side of the
gasket against the case with Aviation gasket sealer and putting o-rings on
the bolts with some success. The bolts are only tightened to 11ftlbs so
over tightening will create leaks.
