How do you replace oil pan gasket on 94 ford ranger?
There is not gasket between the engine block and the oil pan. A sealant was used to join the two. If you are leaking oil from the pan you might try checking the bolts and making sure they are snug. If they are snug and it still leaks get tube of gasket maker to reseal it. Be sure to get all the old sealant off the pan and the block before you reapply. If the pan is leaking, you MUST remove the pan and install a gasket. Usually cork. I know of no mechanic that has had luck just using the sealant that a manufacturer uses. That is why Oil Pan gaskets are available for just about any car out there.
Do you need sealant on a oil pan gasket or just torque it?
I believe that if a gasket is employed, then the need for gasket seal in a tube is gone, however, your gasket should be torqued to manufacturer's specifications. Yet, it doesn't hurt to have both.

Changed the oil pan on a Chevrolet metro and now it will not startChecked fuel pump got gas what to do now?
I just went through this problem myself and what happens is that because of a poor design flaw the crankshaft position sensor air gap that connects to the oil pan goes out of spec if you put a gasket on oil pan or apply too much sealant. Remove oil pan eliminate gasket and just use sealant as that was what they originally did at the Chevy dealer and I put a gasket on the pan thinking they left it off and then had the problem you are having Exact same thing happened to me. This is correct. I want to add that I am almost certain that there is a difference in thickness between the gasket for the 4 cylinder and the 3 cylinder. I removed the gasket and went with sealant only and that resolved the problem.
