I raised the hood today on my 86 f250. I parked it for the winter and intended to do work on it this summer. Any way raised the hood to look around and noticed the valley pan covered with rust. I didn't see any oil stains down there as is common. So my question is has any one heard of this pan rusting through.I pulled the dip stick oil looks ok and not over full line. I just don't like the looks of the pan and will change the oil and pull the intake to change the valley pan. I have to start it to pull it into the garage and that will be it, I won't even warm it up.
I am going to assume that all I need to do this is remove the injector lines then the intake and the valley pan should come right out.
Is there only one valley pan--6.9/7.3/Turbo/Na
I like to use aviation permatex or is it a dry fit for the intake gasket? And does the valley pan sandwich in with the gasket.
