A composition (formed) oil pan gasket has been released and is available for servicing 1980-1982 V-6 equipped Cadillacs. This gasket (P/N 1260771) does not supersede the use of RTV, but has been made available as an optional method for sealing V-6 oil pans. A gasket paste, such as P/N 1050026, can be used to retain the gasket in place during installation. Oil pan bolt torque specifications remain unchanged.
For warranty purposes, use Operation No. J1000 at 1.1 hours for "C" and 2.8 hours for "E/K".
