C 4 pan gasket repair/replace

I ask this because I have not serviced the C4 in my car. Few months back it was completely rebuilt and had no leaks. then I had a foam issue in the dip stick when checking level  and the shop checked it all out, they gave me the 100% OK and it seams to be fine. But with the lift I discovered a leak going on around the pan. I tighten the bolts some, not to tight to dent the pan and the leak seamed to slow down to just the bolt below the vac mod. I found the vac mode to also be somewhat loose, so i tighten it up sung. Tonight after a long drive I looked and it really looks to be the gasket. My question is should I use sealer on the new gasket. I will first make sure the pan is flat around the bolt holes.


Slammed Big Blue, ran over the varmints that messed with the Stang. Now all is good in the NW

Re: C 4 pan gasket repair/replace

For the cork gaskets for c4, install dry.  And don’t over tighten.
