I had a cousin replace an oil pan gasket on a Ford 92 Ranger?
He couldn't get the oil pan all the way off. He cut the gasket and used RTV High Temp gasket maker where he had to cut it. What's the possibility of it leaking?

i will't communicate for all automobiles, yet many times you do no longer ought to pull out the completed engine merely to interchange an oil pan gasket. yet with extra moderen fords, who is conscious? LOL it may start to leak merely from age. i do no longer think of leaving your vehicle working did something. The oil pan is merely that- a huge pan. there's a tube hooked to a pump that attracts oil out of it and up in direction of the engine, despite the fact that this is not like the gap in that pan is decrease than various tension. i might refer to my mechanic to get a restoration estimate. in the meatime save an exceedingly careful watch on your oil point. the massive possibility is that oil gets low and you injury the engine. i do no longer have confidence the Oil Low mild to return on quickly sufficient.
