Can this gasket be used on modified vehicles?

Who should install this oil sump gasket?
Installation of all FAI components should be performed by a qualified technician.
What is the primary function of an oil sump gasket?
The oil sump gasket creates a seal between the oil sump (the pan at the bottom of the engine that holds oil) and the engine block. This seal prevents oil from leaking out of the engine, ensuring proper lubrication and preventing potential engine damage.
What happens if the oil sump gasket fails?
A failed oil sump gasket can lead to significant oil leaks. This can result in low oil levels, potentially causing severe engine damage due to lack of lubrication and overheating. It can also create a mess and environmental hazard.
Troubleshooting
Oil leak persists after installation.
Ensure the oil sump surface is clean and free of old gasket material or debris. Verify the gasket was seated correctly and that all sump bolts are tightened to the manufacturer's specified torque. Double-check that the correct gasket part number was used for the vehicle.
Difficulty fitting the gasket.
Confirm that the correct gasket for the specific vehicle model and engine is being used. Re-check measurements and dimensions against the vehicle's requirements. Ensure the oil sump mating surface is not warped or damaged.
Gasket appears to be the wrong size.
