Wow that was great explanation of installing the pan gasket. I really like the step by step install including the little details that will ensure that the pan will not leak.
At one time, magazines like Hot Rod would give useful detailed information like this, today they give articles that say things like, "We took our project to Joe Smith at *** Racing and he put in a roll cage, here's a bunch of pictures that really won't tell you anything useful other than it is really important to take your car to a 'pro' like we did."
