Oil Pan Gasket Question

Post by JoeM37B1 »

I purchased a Fel-Pro OS-4250C oil pan gasket for my '63 M37B1. In addition to the cork/fiber gasket parts, there are two small rubber seals I have not seen before in a Victor oil pan gasket used on another truck. The rubber seals are 1 1/16 inch long and approx. 1/16" in diameter - solid rubber. The legend on the box indicates that they are "2-R-6312 - Front End Seal".
Where do they go in relation to side and end gaskets?
Thanks in advance.

HMMM.... INTERESTING. THE ONLY TIME I CHANGED THE OIL GASKET SEALS ON MY 62, THERE WERE ONLY 4 PIECES OF CORK. COULD THE SET YOU BOUGHT BE SUITABLE FOR OTHER ENGINES OF THE DAY AS WELL? PERHAPS THOSE RUBBER SEALS ARE FOR ANOTHER APPLICATION? :?:

I suppose it could be, but the stock number is the same one listed in all of the MV application charts and the box lists the gasket set for 1950's-1960's Dodge/Chrysler 218-230 cu.in. engines.
Thanks,

The rubber seals you mention go under the front pan support; seals between the support (arched piece that the front pan cork rubber strip mates with) and the engine block. They are typically not needed if you are only doing a pan reseal. If the support is removed from the block, then by all means replace them.
