so is there a special gasket or what, if you have a web site that would be great

I know you are new, but for the love read what you are posting. Please read what comes out of your mind and onto the screen. You sound like an eleven-year-old on crack.


You need an oil pan gasket for your CSVT, Bat Inc is not your answer.

Go to your nears automotive store such as AutoZone, Advance Auto Parts, Napa, or O'Reily's. Tell them you need the oil pan gasket for your year SVT.


That well get you about 20% of the way there.

Don't forget to get oil and an oil fitler AS YOU WILL NEED TO DRAIN THE OIL BEFORE YOU REMOVE THE PAN.



Is there a torque spec for the bolts on the oil pan? Someone else should be able to help you there.

This is a big job. If you don't have the tools-forget it.
On my Zetec I needed to lift the engine 4" to get the pan past the sub-frame. Make sure this is something you can handle before starting.

thank you
