Very frustrated! Please help!!
So i'm trying to get my oil pan gasket put on. This is the upper oil pan, cast aluminum. My truck is a 03' 4.0L SOHC. I ran into these two little tabs that stick down on the rear output shaft side of the gasket. Wondering what to do with these tabs. I'm getting very frustrated, because I wanted to drop the engine in my truck today and this is all that is holding me up. I don't want to get it installed only to find that I have an oil leak on the oil pan, and have to pull it again. Both the shop manual and the Chiltons that I have do not mention these. The pictures of my problem are below... Thanks for any help!!
