    Dry will be fine. Just make sure both surfaces are CLEAN! Ray.

      I'd hit the gasket with some Threebond sealer. Oil pan is one gasket that you do not want to have leak.

      To measure is to know.

        hmmm......one and one. anyone else? will the threebond work if there is already oil on the gasket? cause i had to take it off again out of paranoia that i left a rag up in there (like a surgeon leaving a sponge in a patient....ha) so i took it off, and now it has oil on it.....

          I installed mine dry. No leaks
          As Ray says make sure both surfaces are clean and flat.

            I put mine on dry. If you have an oil gallery o-ring make sure it's installed and good.

              In that case, I'd go with the "oil the gasket first" philosophy.

              So did you find the rag inside?

                ha, no, no rag. but i cam home from work and was about to fill it with oil and looked down and.....the rag i put up there to catch any crud while i cut a slot in the oil pickup screen screw to get it out was not on the ground where the scene of the crime....."oh s...". so, off came the exhaust (again) and off cam the pan, again. but no rag. which is actually reassuring, even if it did give me more work. better safe than....well, what exactly would a rag in your engine do? nothing good, i'm pretty sure. thanks guys!

                with any luck, and my bike bandit parts that should get here today, i should have a runner by the end of the week!! not getting my hopes up, though.
