Well, almost together.
Oil pan gasket problem. Oil pan is bent when welded. Had to take 1mm off the surface. Now the gasket is too thin.

Thanks.

I would be happy to 500/500, but 450/450 may be closer to the truth.

Thanks.

I want to keep all "reasonably" simple and easily repairable. And silver is a good color, leaks can be found easily. (It is YB, it will leak)



Does anyone have a good idea that how could I fix that sump gasket problem?
1mm gasket shape shim + 2 gaskets?
Thicker gasket somewhere?
