after you get that oil pan on you can come up here and change out my oil pan gasket for me. ENGNBLDR Rock gasket not doing well at all and I got only about 2000 miles on it.

without me re-reading all the specs on the 1987 oil pan.....can you get away with an FIPG kinda fix?
that is a damm shame, considering what a pain in the Dartos Tunic (hehehehe) it is to access the pan.

I am gonna try the fipgish (rtv) fix, but I had already rtv'd it. maybe I wasn't supposed to in the first place or used the wrong color? I always forget which color rtv to use where. Fuel, water, oil etc etc.

I'm thinking black is black.....I insisted on using the Toyota FIPG because I really don't want to do that part again......I'm gonna assume Black RTV is the equivalent to it though.

If I rememer right, mine had a gasket (was not cork) and that oem gasket was held in place by some beads that were run of either black or dark grey FIPG.
I might have had the oil pan bolts torqued down too much as well I don't know. The torque specs on those tiny bolts are real low though. And remember also I had to take this pan off from the beginning twice. That I am sure didn't help matters either.

good point...i'm gonna go out on a limb and say you are probably as safe if not safer just using the sealer stuff.

Neither the FSM or my Chilton say to use a gasket, they give a procedure to fill the little grooves on the pan with FIPG. Napa does offer a gasket, but it looked cheap to me so I decided against it.

my imagination does not serve me well in trying to figure out how to place a gasket on that.... it's a 1-piece right?? so you have to get that pan clear of the strainer and all that just to fit a new one on....versus dropping the pan enough and giving due-diligence to cleaning it up and using the right amount of spooge on it.
