200 ENGINE ASSEMBLY The isolating oil pan gasket contains 12 integral locating/retaining cones which lock into holes drilled through the oil pan rails, and two large rectangular tabs located directly across from each other on the inner perimeter of the gasket. The cones keep the gasket properly located during oil pan installation, and the rectangular tabs serve as a starting point for locating the gasket on the oil pan rail.
When servicing an E7 engine with an isolating oil pan arrangement, avoid using an engine stand that supports the engine on the oil pan rail while the oil pan is still installed. Damage to the oil pan, pan gasket or the isolators may result. If this type of stand must be used and the oil pan is to remain installed, support the engine on the pads provided at each corner of the cylinder block as shown in Figure 6-56.
