I have been through 3 pan gaskets and tried different gasket sealers but still can't stop the pan leaking. I guess I took too much material off the holder to clear the main bearing stud nuts. What have you folks done to use the studs and still have enough pan material to hold the gasket? Also what is the best sealer to use to join the main neoprene seal halves at their parting line? I have bought another seal holder so I can start over. I want to replace the main seal with a new neoprene seal. My question is can I just rotate the new seal in place without loosening the main bearings? Thanks G.S.http://forums.y-blocksforever.com/uploads/images/01beaea5-6749-43ab-9f8b-4234.jpg
