Misleading title.

It's an upper oil pan.

I didn't know that these cars would ever need an upper oil pan replacement. I have a 99 that still likes to **** oil through it, but that's just the stock sealer that went to hell on it.

Could you tell me where did you purchase your upper oil pan from?

I was trying to see where did you purchase your upper oil pan from because online I'm only seeing used ones and I'm not trying to put anything used on my car

That's a mistake, especially on old cars with little value. The money is better spent elsewhere. I'll take a 25 dollar junkyard pan all day, every day. OP sounds like he got a fair price for retail, though.




No gaskets should be required (you mean seals I guess). Only the seals (front, rear, crank, oil tube/pump/cooler). RTV does the rest.
