I'm going to need and change the gasket in mine soon. The pan never did fit right when I rebuit this thing (had to rubber hammer it into shape) and still leaks around the edges. I have a FELPRO cork in there now with generous helpings of RTV on each end. The way the oil smear is under the HEEP the cork is porous and it's comming out of every where - and yes it's torqued to spec.

For mounts, I have the MOORE bomb-proof jobbers in there now, looks like the pan can come and go no problem.
