Default Re: Goofy Automotive Engineering

Funny you say that. Think this needs some more information, as deleting the second gasket is a common modification to stop leaks !
This particular engine was the last in line of my trucks to be modified due to it recently starting to leak.
The other 4 Perkins/Mazda powered trucks I have changed previously don't allow the pan - block gasket to distort like the twin set up does and none leak oil.
The 2 larger inline 6 cylinder Perkins/Mazda have a simple single gasket design like any car and don't leak.
