I finally took the plastic baffle out of the oil pan to get the LR baffle welded in and there was a metal spacer in the bottom of the pan. I think I recall there may have been a space for one of the bolts. I amhoping it just fell into the pan as I was trying to maneuver the pan off. If this is correct which bolt does it belong to?

 

Sometimes the metal spacers come out of the gasket itself, that might be what youre referring to.

 

Oh yeah. I remember now there were metal spacers in the old gasket. New one should be here next week.
