It's flush. The old oil pan was warped but this new one isn'tIf you install the pan to the block without gaskets or anything.. does the pan sit flush on the block or does it feel warped?
No everything is straight. The only imperfection I see is the timing cover has a gap and it's kinda not flush you can see in the picture the timing cover is not straight at the bottom where it meets the pan. There is gap. I just today filled it with rtv hoping it'll stop it leaking from the front. No that's how the block came with those allen bolts. I had to give my core so the only thing I kept was the reinforcement plates so you don't bend the pan.On the very bottom of the block , do you see any imperfections? Also I doubt it will make a difference, but do you have actual pan bolts instead of those Allen head bolts?
if it’s an older block and it’s machined to accept a mechanical fuel pump, it will have two bolt holes on the front of the block right in front of where the pump would mount. One of the holes, the top one if recall correctly, is machined all the way through. It requires a 3/8” bolt to keep it from pumping oil out. It looks like it would be directly above where you took that picture.
He's not talking about leaking from the fuel pump boss cover.Yeah it does have that cover for the fuel pump but it's completely dry no oil from there
