Hey Bud. Just found your website. All ready replied twice. Just subscribed Thanks for standing up for the technicians. Was watching the problems with the BRZ and the 86 Toyotas. I kept wondering why the use rtv on the oil pan? I'm an old school mechanic now. Cork or rubber gaskets have been around for every. Seemed to me to have worked fine. I still preferred the rubber ones. But great idea on the gasket. Kudos to you getting that done! But globbing on rtv on the pan was probably a bean counter decision. Probably saved a dollar on every car lmao.

Thanks Re. Oil Pan Gasket - FINALLY !!! 🙂

[@CMAutohaus]

Yeah Boi!!!!!

[@grippgoat]

That gasket seems kinda thick. I wonder if it affects the interaction between the pickup and the bottom of the pan at all? I guess if you just fill to the same point on the dipstick, it would compensate the oil level.

[@CMAutohaus]

Rev 2 will be a thinner gasket. When installed (compressed) we found the pan sits approx 2mm lower with the current gasket

[@aygwm]

This is a windage draining problem, not solely an RTV problem. It is the block design that is to blame.

[@CMAutohaus]

In regards to oil starvation, agreed. It's a combination of factors

Ok but how many miles are on this 86, 1000 miles.. drop it again at 10,000 and some track days, bet there will be stuff

[@CMAutohaus]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/d4rZdo2notVqqsU We've removed pans mutiple times on the same cars in the past. My advice to customers: this a "once and done" repair for a daily driver. For a canyon/track car, I'd drop the pan again in about 50k miles.

[@xzivr4894]

@@CMAutohaus Would you recommend doing it right after taking delivery or does it take a few (hundred) (?) miles for it all to break off and work its way down?

[@CMAutohaus]

@@xzivr4894 Id recommend doing it at 1,000 miles

[@TheXTCNinja117]

Where can I buy that gasket? Are the torque specs the same with the gasket?

[@CMAutohaus]

Looks like sold out. Torque specs will be same theory as an cork or rubber replacement gasket. I personally choke up on a 1/4" ratchet and tighten until the gasket compresses a bit. shop.battlegarage-rs.com/products/limited-quantity-rubber-cork-version-1-battle-garage-frtv-fa20-fa24-oil-pan-gasket?_pos=14&_sid=de9ddd6b2&_ss=r

[@stratussx]

Do you guys have a trusted shop out in Southern California that can do this job ?

[@CMAutohaus]

No. And to this day it still shocks me how many of you SoCal people ask this despite the plethora of shops in SoCal. Ive heard from my SoCal industry peers that because there so are many shops in SoCal, it is a race to the bottom based on price point which forces good shops to close.

[@styledliving]

i wonder why oil pan makers don't simply put in a stepped bevel on the inside edge. you just need like 2-3mm and the rtv would naturally sit inside that stepped bevel. this is what they do in porsche deep sump oil pans and it works perfectly. since subaru stamps these oil pans, it would be incredibly simple to make this minor change in their manufacturing process.

[@CMAutohaus]

It's what makes a Subaru...A Subaru!

[@Hapkido82AUS]

Lucky the next 86 will be a real Toyota, with (probably) a detuned GR Yaris engine 🙌

[@iLouieTube]

It's a brand new car!, this is absolutely disgusting of toyota, their standards have gone down hill over the past 10 years, muppets building them!

[@CMAutohaus]

Have you seen the new Tundra 3.5L recall. Ridiculous!

[@iLouieTube]

@CMAutohaus no ill take a look now, I have a 29 year old trueno sprinter gtz, with the 4agze engine in, its build quality is ace!, the only thing abit sketchy is the fact the superstrut suspension is a High wear item but I can live with changing it every 60-80k miles 🤣

[@svang1991]

Should’ve bought the German-made Toyota, GR Supra.

[@CMAutohaus]

@@svang1991 A lot of customers bring up how hard Toyota pushed BMW to improve the quality of the A90, yet for the FA24 it was more or less "Send it bro"

[@svang1991]

@@CMAutohauslol, “just send it, bro”.

[@671021]

Same issue can last so long is beyond me maybe they don`t even consider it a issue at all 😅

[@CMAutohaus]

Word is, that is Toyota of Japan's official stance

[@hendrahendra]

Subarus are well known to leak oil. So their solution is like ' we will put ALL the RTV gasket so it doesnt leak' 😂

[@Unknownmanufacturer]

Sigh... Cant even rely on the "reliable" toyota and honda anymore.

[@CMAutohaus]

Honda oil/fuel dilution issue is wild

[@tiiiimmmmmm]

Still disappointing coming from Toyota

[@CMAutohaus]

Ditto. Considering your 1995 Camry which was neglicted its entire life could still go 300k miles easy.
