Quality Oil Pan Gasket

Thats exactly what I was thinking, no silicone and no leaks after 5,000 miles is worth it to me, not to mention taking it off and having a mess like you said. I went ahead and ordered it from Summit, there is only one gasket that they have available that is one piece. It says that it is for the magnum engine only, but the tech guy I talked to said that was incorrect, and it would also fit my 340. It is part number SCE-269090, price is $39.95
