will the magnum one piece oil pan gasket work on a LA oil pan?
thanks

not really. The coroners where the two gasket set meets normally leaves a gap when you try it with the one piece.

I suppose you could goop it to seal, but I had to put the la gasket back. I did think about cutting the sides off the magnum gasket since they were steel reinforced, but never did it.

I tried it by reforming the corners of the LA pan to look like the Magnum pan, and it seems to have worked for a while, and then started a slow leak from the back. Most people say use an LA gasket with an LA pan and a Magnum gasket with a Magnum pan. This seems like good advice to me

The problem is only at the front of the pan where it meets the block.

I tried to use RTV and let it dry. After a month, a hairline crack formed on each side. I thought about taking it apart and using a LA gasket. I gave the corners another heavy bead of RTV and am allowing it to cure.

I will likely leave the motor in the car until winter, and will keep an eye on the results.

is there a magnum center sump oil pan? I was under the impression that there is only the LA pans with center sump.

It's real easy to do and I even reuse them. You'll get alot of differing veiws,but it's not that hard to make work. RTV IS NOT THE ANSWER.
