[DeTomaso] Milodon Oil Pan Gaskets, and installing oil pan gaskets

[Charles Engles]

Dear Dan,


       That is the solution to doing that job with one less headache.  In a
pinch a standard stud would get things aligned, but those special studs
would be the trick to have.  


                     Warmest regards,  Chuck Engles

I have a set of special studs that I use on oil and transmission pans when
fighting gravity.  They are tapered and spring loaded.  Screw them in at
least the four corners and you can just push the pan into place and the
studs will hold the pan (and gasket) in place while you screw the bolts in
the rest of the holes.  Then unscrew the studs and replace with bolts.
I inherited these so I'm not sure where one would buy a similar set.
