Oil Pan Gasket LQ9 motor Do most people use the one from GM or has anyone used a Felpro? I'm sure the Felpro would be less money, but want to make sure it will do the job. Comments welcome. Thanks

i have reused the timing cover and oil pan gaskets several times and i never used sealer at the corners and have not ever had a leak,, you could use a dab of sealer at the corners it isnt going to hurt anything
make sure you use the correct tools to align the oil pan and front cover, i have access to the gm gen 3 engine tool kit and use it every time to align the oil pan and front and rear covers.

i did not use the tools on mine and it does not leak. just use a ruler and measure all around. it was cheaper to buy the oil pan gasket from an online gm parts house than getting a felpro from an auto store.
