Anyone uses the blue lock tight on them?. Semes like i cant keep them tight

I use 271 red on my powerglides.

Are you sure it’s not simply gasket crush? You could mark (clock) he bolts and check to see if there is any rotation over time.

It was touque down with a inch pound wrench per manual recommendation doing the rebuild, all was good for a few weeks then that drip when i went to snug it seems they were a little loser than i thought they should have been

Pittsb...is that with stainless bolts?

I’ve been using a lot of Tractor Supply grade 8 because I can buy them by the pound. But yes I have used stainless and it works great on those too. Everyone gets stuck on the term “removeable”. Heck I use 271 on my oil pan bolts, flywheel bolts, converter bolts, cam bolts, etc.

All cork, rubber coated cork take a compression set over time.

Thanks for the reply.. Trans, but it's rubber.

Lube locker is a nice reusable pan gasket. Never leaked for me.

Pure rubber without compression limiters?

Yes sir.

Don't use loctite on the bolts. It's probably seeping through the pan holes. Put silicone in the pan holes and then snug it down tight.
Those pans are notorious for leaking.
Silicone on the pan rail then put down the gasket.
Put it up and let the silicone dry overnight and then tighten down the bolts.

Nope. No silicon on the pan gasket.

Mopar reusable gasket at 130inlb been working like a champ for me for a long time. But I just use steel RE pans

I can’t imagine any better gasket than the reuseable Mopar gasket, especially on a cast aluminum pan.

^^^ ...this....never a leak with a B&M deep pan.

So who carry this mopar gasket? Any site sponsors?

Available from all FCA dealers. Just tell the parts guy you need the factory pan gasket for a 2003 - 2007 48RE.

Thanks Trans...

Looks like it is 2464324AC. Verify with dealer to be sure.

Wilco.

I think you might have some kind of harmonics going on which is loosening your hardware. anything else need tightening up?

Try using some adhesive sealant silicone instead

Try Permatex "High Tack" Gasket sealant, #80062 as a brush-on or in a spray can too.

My go-to for any oil/fuel sealing, gasket or not.

It is also an effective medium thread lock, although not advertised as such.

Give it a try, nothing to lose but aggravation.... my 2 cents,

Joe

No sir,,,,,just the pan bolts.......I', thinking of just trying some lock washers first

Unless you have bolts loosening up on gaskets with torque limiters I would just use the Mopar gasket and torque those bolts.

The reuseable gasket was designed to be used in production with longer bolts with captive washers.
They are slightly longer than the std. pan bolts.

They are a gray finish compared to the std 727 bolts. Longer because the gasket is thicker overall and to maintain proper thread engagement.
