Oil system myths

My thing about the gasket is why in the world did Chrysler never use one? I don't think it's price, but something else Chrysler thought didn't warrant the usage of the gasket. I agree about the HV pump though, and it's interesting about the pressurized oil to the chain. Doesn't the factory just use a slinger bolted to the cam gear?

Chrysler DID use them. I can’t think of a single small block I took apart that I knew was virgin that did not have that gasket.

So Chrysler did use it. Did it make it into every engine? I don’t know.

But the guy from Melling said to use it.

I will post a link on Friday (or sooner if it hits sooner) so anyone who wants can listen for themselves.
