Oil Pan Prep 2

The stupid oil pan gasket comes in four pieces: two cork strips and two rubber semicircles. Looks like the consensus is to tie up the cork parts with floss or felpro snapups first, then install the rubber caps. According to the pictures from some Ford book I found on Google books, the cork goes in between the cap and the block. Of course you should also apply some sealer where the two gaskets meet.
