Oil pan gasket during clutch job

markslc1 · 08-15-2020, 11:17 AM

I was just about to put my flywheel back on, when this was discovered. So it looks like it would be a bad idea to put the clutch back in and wait a bit to tackle the oil pan. opinions? I'd like to get my car on the road and maybe deal with this over the winter. Possible?

I watched a few oil pan videos and none seem to complain about the bell housing clearance. So it should be easy enough to do the pan later. Already bolted up the clutch and loading the tranny tomorrow.
