Cast aluminum pan.

Ah, just dab some red loctite on them, torque them to 110%, cross fingers and forget it. 🙂

Aluminum pans usually have thicker flanges, and not as easy to bend as the thin stamped steel. But make sure everything is flat and straight, and use a good quality gasket. NO CORK!

You can't just torque them once and walk away. The gasket most times, will take a bit to "set", so you may have to retorque after a few heat cycles. (Unless you red loctite them!!! <---just joking, don't do that)

No red loctite maybe blue?

No red loctite maybe blue?

Agreed, dont use the red. Blue is the way...

I'd also ditch the chrome pan. I've never had good luck getting chrome trans and oil pans to seal properly

Chrome don't getcha home.

I agree on the cast aluminum pans that have the thicker flanges for the win.

Ditto the blue Loktite. You may want to get them off some day. I have learned to schmear some Permatex Ultra Black on every stinking gasket I use. No leaks.
