no gasket is used
Assuming you mean the pressure sender it is a pipe thread into the block, some teflon tape will help it seal. There is no gasket. The oil filter has an "O" ring on it that seals it to the block.
the gasket comes built in with the oil filter period! there arent any gasket except the one on the filter . find a new mechanic!
The oil filter gasket is a rubber ring that is usually bonded to the oil filter. If the oil filter has been removed and has no gasket, then it has become stuck to the engine block. Remove the gasket from the block before installing a new oil filter with it's own new gasket. Be sure to spread a little clean engine oil on the rubber gasket before installation to help seal and prevent sticking to the block. Do not overtighten the filter, turn the filter until the gasket contacts the block and then tighten 1/4 turn more. If the gasket leaks, tighten just enough to stop the leak.
If you are sure that it did not freeze and crack the block, Then the intake manifold gasket is leaking. That is a common problem with the vortec Chevy engines. You need to replace the gasket with a factory Chevy gasket from the dealer.
To change the gasket remove the oil filter. There will be 2 bolts holding the adapter to the block, remove them push the adapter off. Clean both surfaces apply gasket seal to gasket. Put the bolts thru the holes and apply gasket to adapter. Start the bolts into engine block and tighten evenly. Put on a new oil filter making sure the filter rubber gasket has a coating of oil.
On the engine block. where on engine block?
yeah, but it might blow a head gasket, i wouldn't chance it
Yes it has an oil filter. You will find it on the engine block somewhere.
Sandwiched between the heads and the engine block.
Drain the Caprice oil. Unbolt the pan and lower. If needed, raise the engine by using a jack and unbolting the engine mounts. Take out the pan and clean the old gasket from the pan and engine block. Reinstall the pan with a new gasket. Reconnect the motor mounts if needed then fill the engine with oil.
