Hint, it isn't supposed to have a trans pan gasket

 

S/O to @Kwikvette for the new Winch I can use to get myself over the parking barriers when I need to go to Macy’s



I also had the chance to use my Vintage Swingline industrial staple remover:

 

I know it's supposed I have the correct rtv, but I'm lazy... the only reason the last one leaked was because all the bolts were finger tight I was loostening them with my fingers on a socket... Probably why one bolt walked itself out

 

@Kwikvette you shoulda hit that cable with a vinegar and salt spray before you gave it to him

 

If the pan isn't made for a rubber gasket, it's not BTW, it's gonna leak with one cause it can't apply the pressure everywhere. Notice the indent around the perimeter on the pan

 

That Winch looks badass

 

Meh, we'll see I would think that indent around the entire pan would make a better deal against the *rubber* gasket

I didn't get a quark or paper gasket I got a rubber one figured it would deform and create a good enough seal

Shitll be fine

 

@eon_blue said give it 2 years before it gets installed

 

what leak?

huh? the camry has a cork/rubber gasket from the factory.

 

oh.. 4runner yea.. no gasket.

 

The Camry had an oil leak changing out the oil pump housing gasket, oil pump shaft seal, oil pump gasket with some black rtv, oil pan gasket out of rtv and front main seal and there were still puddles under it

Checked it out again the trans pan had a missing bolt and was saturated but my care for the car ran out

I drove the 4 runner I also noticed it had red atf and black oil leaking out of it as well

 

oh. if the thing had the leak at the back of the valve cover i was going to say is the head plug and the semi circle.. theyre famous for that.. oil pump Oring is famous for leaking too.

 

I've removed, cleaned, and put black permatex rtv on the cam half moon things because the guy before me used permatex grey (on everything they could have) which isn't meant for oil contact so it all got brittle and leaked

Just sucks to have to work on a shitty car I don't care about furthermore fix someone's mistake

Only to have it still leak (atf this time)

But with the engine oil leak fixed and trans pan gasket on let's hope I can move on with more noticeable fixes like control arms/cvs

Maybe even progress down the checklist to painting it

 

If you decide not to use it I'll take it off your hands.

 

i think everyone here has called dibs on that only for the one guy that will literally never use it, buy it



then the first time he needs it the solenoid will be shot because he never used it.

 

Could be worse; could've posted it for sale in the marketplace for more money

 

Forgot I have a bunch of extra frozen shrimp

 

@Running Board Man

Still waiting for you to dump those Solo LCAs

I don't need them, just want them...

 

What do you value them at?

They'd look good with all the other money you're throwing at it

 

Are they really? I bet with enough practice trying to read that i could teach myself Spanish.
