this damn car is freaking killing me.

damn thing runs great, drives and handles great. just won't hole its oil. just cant find the leak. now I'm suspecting the oil pan gasket. its a jegs 1 piece that I've never used before. wondering if it moved or something. just not sure. can't find it on my back or when its up on a lift so I'm pulling the damn motor to look it over. putting a conventional pan gasket on it even if its now where its leaking. with the motor out I'll be able to see everything better and hopefully find the damn leak.

down to a month before this thing has to go on a 4000 mile road trip. i have 500 miles on it so once back in I'm confident it will make that trip as ling as the oil leak is fixed. if not we will take my 08 mustang or our 19 mustang convertible. leaning to the 19 convertible. that thing is so comfortable to drive and drives so well its incredible. that lil echo boost has plenty of pep too.

told jamie if the dart doesn't make it to sick66 then next year I'll make sure we can drive it to Mississippi for cruising the coast.

damn car is set up to cruise distance and it needs to do it soon. :)

You can’t use that gasket with a standard pan. The back of the gasket is too thick and will split once you tighten the pan bolts.
