Hey firefighter, you may need to rejet that 302, you know with the elevation change from the coast to way up in NC!!!

got new oil pump and pick up tube installed today. shooting to get compression test done monday. i bought a new one pc felpro oil pan gasket. does anyone know if you put rtv on it or not?

I like a thin skim coat on either side of the gasket and the rubber peices that go on the main bearing caps. Be sure to remove any dimpled bolt holes with a hammer and socket. The pan should be flat. Be sure your dip stick tube isnt leaking too. Very common in the eb oil pans.
