MY "front engine seal " oil pan gasket, and "rear" seal. thats what the guy at Mr. Lube told me. I looked and saw, but how hard are they to change?? It would RULE if i could change them myself.. but i have hardly any tools, (just a socket set) and i live in an apartment.. could it be a one day job?? or could i pay you 50 bucks to do it for me ;D
ps by you i mean anyone :o

LMAO, 50 bucks, lol
sorry about that
to do you rear seal the motor has to come out and you have to drop the pan you can do the front seal with the motor in the car but its still a big job
rad got to come out, water pump off, and timing chain cover has to come off, and losen your oil pan(which may make your pan gasket leak more) to do the front seal,
my advice is its a chevy deal with it, cause its going to leak ;D

i really need to get this done.. how much do you think a shop would charge.. i will pay someone anything to do this for me.. even if they have to take the engine out.. that way i could try to paint the block as well :) but seriously, someone name your price and ill pay it..

Don't use anything with Teflon in it! If you ever plan on rebuilding it, it's a real bitch to clean.
