ismellrealbad Posted April 9, 2007 Report Posted April 9, 2007 for numerous reasons, decided to do the gasket. after pulling and cleaning i noticed paint chips missing on the inside. of course it is only going to continue....however i would like opinions on next course of action (slap it back on/replace). i dont think its a good idea for paint chips to be getting caught in bearings, or maybe im just worrying. if i get a used one it sprobably going to have the same problem, an new one will cost too much and i dont think i should put it back on.

RJansen658 Posted April 10, 2007 Report Posted April 10, 2007 I would replace it. How much could it possibly cost? Piece of mind is priceless. Quote
PCGUY112887 Posted April 10, 2007 Report Posted April 10, 2007 Paint chips? The insides of oil pans are painted? Quote
RJansen658 Posted April 10, 2007 Report Posted April 10, 2007 Yea, inside of steel ones anyways Quote

5speedz34 Posted April 10, 2007 Report Posted April 10, 2007 Usually $50 bucks. Order a GM one from GM Parts Direct and its $50 and some change. I wouldn't worry about paint chips personally. Quote
ismellrealbad Posted April 10, 2007 Author Report Posted April 10, 2007 sandpaper + hi temp spraypaint = $10 that "thats good enough" feeling = priceless Order a GM one from GM Parts Direct and its $50 and some change. Went there they want $124 shipped. was the pn 12563240?? the one on my pan starts with a 2 and doesnt even come up Quote
5speedz34 Posted April 10, 2007 Report Posted April 10, 2007 24504719 That is the part number for my '92. 3.4 DOHC. Is this for a L67? I thought you had the DOHC. PS-Stamped part numbers are usually never right. GM changes them on a regular basis. Quote
no1kicker Posted April 11, 2007 Report Posted April 11, 2007 You could look for an aluminum oil pan found on the L32. Quote

I have ordered from GM Parts Direct more than a dozen times, NEWGMPARTS.com as well. I always use thier online catalog, and it hasn't been wrong yet. Quote
