Review on 🛢️ FEL-PRO OS 30705 C Oil Pan Gasket Kit by Mike Palma

I was changing the oil pan on a 1998 Toyota Corolla and had a problem installing a new pan with this gasket. The torque spec calls for 80 inches per pound per bolt, and I slowly increased the torque of all 16 bolts from 20, 40, then 70 in a criss-cross pattern. By the time I reached 70 in-lbs, the cork gasket had compressed so much that it snapped several screws and pushed them out. I used RTV on both sides of the spacer so I was confident that if I added additional RTV in certain places this repair would still work. I have an oil leak in one spot. When purchasing this seal, please note that the manufacturer's torque specification is invalid. Be careful when tightening these screws.
