Talk Morgan Forums Morgan Sports Cars Classic Morgans (pre-CX) M16 engine oil pan gasket

I'm hoping to fix a leak, which looks like from the rear of the oil pan. I bought a new gasket that fits as far as shape and bolt-holes go, but has a number of protrusions around it. The protrusions have no mating holes to go into. The depressions in the pan aren't deep enough to accommodate them. Not a big deal to trim them down, but just want to know if I am missing something.

Also, the rear of the gasket sticks out beyond the pan flange. There is no room for this as the transmission plate is right up against the pan. I'll have to trim that off and use some sealer there.

Doesn't look the correct gasket to me, especially the third shot 1.35.28, with no bedding on the inner flange face

Agreed, does not look right, have a look at

sg194 gasket Rover 800 1989 2.0 E XS

on ebay and check tif he shape looks right Rick.

lots of misleading info on rover 800 gaskets top and bottom.

You guys are correct. Some sources say the Rover 800/400/200 pre-1990 used the M16 engine. Other sources give a different engine.

I'll have to find/order the correct one.

Thank you,

Rick
