  1. Thanks much Andydodge for your explanation on how to correctly mount the oil pan gasket, and Bryan for the pics......but still have questions here. From another topic I have taken a pic where you can see how oil side pan gasket sides should be mounted, just as Andydodge explains, but from pic you can see there are no cut outs on the end of the side gaskets?...... From Bryan pics from his 1948 engine it looks as if the "4" rubber piece which inserts in the main bearing cap protrudes from the cap, if that was correct that will be the explanation for the end of side gaskets cutouts. I think that when the "4" rubber protrudes from main bearing cap side gaskets should have a cut out (mine) and when "4" rubber ends flush from main bearing cap (mine), side gaskets should not have cutouts. It looks as if both were used over time. If that could be right I either have wrong the side gaskets or the wrong "4" rubbers,......mine is the PE 1934, 201 engine but which should be correct?. Below a pic I found from a seller in ebay which offers an NOS oil pan gasket, he offers it as "1933-1957 oil pan gasket for Plymouth"......it has no cutouts. I have also checked the "Plymouth passenger and commercial car master parts list" and can see that engines between 1933 and 1938 ( PC,PD,PE,......P7,P8) all use the same side gasket, 780477.....but was this the one with or w/o cutouts?...... Again thanks for any help that you can give me
  2. I bought an engine gasket set for my 201 engine I'm rebuilding. Oil pan seal which came in the set has an indentation on the end as if the the rubber insert that fits in the main cap should fit there, see pics On the last pics from a 230 engine Wiboater posts, it can be seen the "4" rubber protrudes from the main bearing, But in my 201 engine, the "4" rubber piece ends flush just as in chrysler 1941 drawing sketch above.......... Question, can I suppose the oil pan gasket is not the correct one and that I should make new ones set that should end with no indentation at the end?. Thanks in advance to any info that can help
  3. I’m starting the rebuild of my 1934 PE 201 engine, and with not much experience on this engine I would like to ask ; I’m confused about the sealing of main bearing at the end of the engine. Please see pics I would think the small rubber “h” shape rubber piece should protrude from the main bearing cap and this protrusion should fit in the small cut at the end the oil pan gasket has, but the rubber finishes flush with the main bearing cup. Is the “h”rubber part too short?, Is the gasket too short? Am I incorrectly locating the “h” rubber piece? Thanks in advance
