Cost of a oil pan gasket replacement

[FoxProGT]

sup peeps..

im needing to replace my oil pan gasket but befor i go ask for estimates id thought i ask here.

how much should it cost to replace the gasket (parts /labor)?

[muscle_Car1]

about $25 and a hour of your life. Its not that hard to do.





As for having someone else touch my baby, I dont know the cost

hmmm id do it myself but i fear the nuts are so rusted that i wouldnt be able to take em off........

but i guess i can try....in that case..do i have to remove the timeing belt cover to remove the pan?

the biggest pain are the nuts on the studs on the exhaust manifold and the catalytic converter

lube,lube,lube,lube before doing anything

idk about the b3 but im guessing its the same. the kit is seriously the stupidest thing ever. there is not gasket you litteraly just squeeze two or three tubes of rtv on your oil pan and then replace the bearing seals on each end. i was pretty disapointed when i "ordered a repare kit" and i open the box and its two tubes of rtv... :?

the b3 is an actual gasket unlike the the b6t and the bp. I attempted this recently and I broke a bunch of the bolts off and then just swapped in a spare engine.

i went to an auto part store and they said that the lower timing belt cover gasket has to mate with the oil pan gasket correctly. is this true?

haha. i wish i could just, "swap in a spare engine." mattswab, you make it sound too easy.

i've always used rtv. The rest of the price was for the oil change.
