Pontiac One-Piece Oil Pan Gasket
The BOP one piece oil pan gasket works with ALL Pontiac V-8's '59-'81. The rear cap area cross-section is square like the cork so it fits perfectly into the main cap with the groove ('59-'72). We added the tabs ('73-'76) and most after mark et pans Canton , Milodon, etc.) This design should not be confused with the normal 3 tab design that has a curved bot tom and is notorious for slipping out of place. This will also work on the 5 tab pans ('77-'81) with minor pan slot modification or removal of tabs. If your pan does not have the 3 tab slots ('59-'72) you can cut them off with a razor blade. Silicone/sealer is only recommended at the bend points of the timing cover and where the rear curve meets the block to account for any minor alignment discrepancies. This is a well engineered part that is quick, clean, reliable, and reusable. You will not be disappointed.
