aluminum oil pan questions on steel sub frame
ok yes back again thanks for all that reply
2001 Buick regal LS just replaced oil pan gasket 1 year ago
looks like leaking again
so will the aluminum oil pan fit with the steel sub frame?
I saw a few guys put both on the pan and aluminum sub frame
from these forums
if it will fit will like to put it on for now
{any one out there have a aluminum pan and front mount and aluminum
sub frame for sale?}
thanks much for all you guys that reply again your all a big help!!!

There was a problem with those black steel oil pans leaking, even after replacing the gasket.....TSB came out....
The top of the Pan had a "ripple" in it......if you did not RTV the top and bottom of the replacement gasket, it would leak....

Just curious, but if a little RTV would stop the leak, then why would you want to spend money trying to replace the oil pan?

Not trying to be rude at all, so please do not take it that way, but I am a bit confused, what does that have to do with the question I asked?

i had to replace the one on my bonnie it was rusted out. there were a bunch of different pans. some for oil level sensors, and some not and the after market pan didnt fit well. if i was you i would just take it out put some black rtv on it and put it back together. make sure you dont crank it down thats as bad as leaving it loose. has to be torqued to the right value in the right sequence.

As for the Barney guy, I am not sure what happened with Bill Boost I think his name was, I don't think he has been around since the old Pontiac Bonneville Club days.
