Windage tray

Anyone tried one of these trays from Jegs, http://www.jegs.com/i/JEGS-Performance-Products/555/502000/10002/-1?parentProductId=1660861    . Seem like a good way to get around using two sets of gaskets on the oil pan.

yea...it's been discussed on other boards....while not a new idea, that type of gasket was mainly designed for a perfectly flat machined surface to seal against unlike the surface of the pans we have now. It is reusable, but maybe only 3 or 4 times before the rubber will not seal tight again

I don't know...I'm on the fence with this

I have used these on older 727 Tranny pans which have basically the same look/feel as older oil pans, and they are the bees knees.

I just replaced the cork gasket which was leaking off my 727 as well with one of these style gaskets and no more leaks

Thanks for the replies Anything that makes work on our engines easier is good in my books So just to finish up on this thread, do you still need a small bead of silicone on both sides for added piece of mind, or just a clean surface on both sides

That's a new must have for me. I have been using 2 cork gaskets and alot of silicone

i just put one on my chargers 440. but havent fired it yet. Within a month or two I should have a report for you though.

Looks like a nice part. I wonder if those were available when my engine was being built. I would have used that for sure.
