I don`t think 70 up used those rubber tabs around the pan. Do you have some pics of the old oil pan end seals and the new ones? You may want to try a different brand gasket. Does it look like this? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Victor-OS30520X-...f06&vxp=mtr

early 64-69 318 pan has (6) holes for front seal. '70 up (318) has (2) holes (one bigger than the other) & both ends take the same gasket. If you have the correct gaskets & the broken nubs are interfering you might cut them flush so the gasket will fit close then use some killer gasket cement like "the right stuff". More info, what do you have/whats going on

My new leaking pan and gasket are on my E58 360. I had mechanic install it and it's leaking bad. I was told that the end gasket goes on the bottom of the side gasket at rear, and on top at the front, and maybe the mechanic did that wrong. The other suggestion was to buy a Superformance gasket as they are very high quality. I've yet to pull the pan myself and give it a shot, so I don't know how the end gaskets went in. I can see plenty of sealant though. The 360 and 318 use different pan, but maybe some of this applies. I think it was RapidRobert who gave me the placement of the gasket tip and Scratchinfortraction the gasket tip. They are reliable sources

No need, I don't have oil pan leaks to sweat.
They say there are no such thing as a stupid question. They say there is always the exception that proves the rule. Don't be the exception.

They are reliable sources I sure can tell you the oil pan on the 89-318 I got from you was sealed to the block for sure. not sure if you had it changed before, but it had some killer black rtv with a cork gasket/metal center that I had to hammer a flat putty knife down both sides of the block to cut it loose.

if you have the right gasket but the nibs are a bit too big you can drill out the pan holes easily enough (assuming everything else is spot on) but yes it would be better to get ones that fit. As said make sure it is the right one

The reason I asked was that I installed a pan gasket on a 318 many years ago and had the same issue as you with the rubber nubs being too big. I vaguely remember that I ended up using a diiferent brand gasket IIRC. That's the avenue I am going to try today. Got hammered with overtime at work & haven't had a chance to work on my car since I posted.

Nope, I never changed it and was told it was original. It was bone dry under that engine, I remember that.
