oil pan and gasket

[exrsa1]

well thats just it I have already done that and it leaks alot. I just put the other gasket on 2 weeks ago and i have only started the truck up in the driveway and in the garage.

I have a new 12151-61011 in the garage, and I also have two or three sets of the 4 piece gaskets. We could compare the two Toyota pieces on your pan.

OK, that confirms my memory. The blue gasket is for the early original pan.

well after me and brian (exrsa1) matched up gaskets. his 4 piece fits perfect for the pan which is by far smaller than the 2 new toyota gaskets. well i got home and tried the journal pieces on the block and they are too small so by process of elimination how ever it happend i have the wrong oil pan. so i will be going to the dealer tomorrow and getting one along with the gasket.

Are you positive that you have all of the old journal gasket material chipped out of the grooves?

How could you end up with a bogus oil pan?

I have no idea how these gaskets don't fit on this pan. We have both the toyota gaskets, plus the 4 piece. The 4 piece fits the pan, but not the block, and the one piece fits the block and not the pan. Not sure what to make of it. I have not seen the block, but have no reason to believe the gasket was not removed properly.

I just remember having to use a flat head screwdriver and a hammer to get all of the old gasket out of the journal groove. It should be a nice rectangular cross section that goes around the journal and the gasket should squeeze in there tightly.

I am pretty sure i have the gasket removed. This isn't my first rodeo.

Sorry man, just tossing out ideas from my experience. I guess the next step would be to get access to a new pan and compare the gasket fit to your current pan.

Update, New pan came in and it is identical to the pan i have. After talking to one of the Techs that deals with cruisers he gave me some fipg and told me to cover ithe gasket and pan and put a decent amout in the corners and that should take care of it. so I am going to try that.

after i let it sit for 24 hours i filled it up with oil and let it idle in the driveway. no oil leaks, drove it a few miles, no oil leaks. so i am happy to say its fixed.

Maybe the answer is in your update somewhere, but...

What gasket did you end up using?

12151-61010 is the toyota part number. not sure what the part number is for the FIPG but its also toyota.
