Fel-Pro Pan Snap-Ups Oil Pan Gasket Alignment Tools

Fel-Pro Pan Snap-Ups are a genuine sealing innovation developed exclusively by Fel-Pro to solve one of the most common frustrations in engine service: holding a heavy oil pan and gasket in proper alignment while simultaneously threading the first fasteners. These purpose-built alignment tools make oil pan gasket replacement a clean, simple, and effective one-person job — no extra hands required.

How They Work:

Pan Snap-Ups thread directly into the existing bolt holes in the engine block in place of the standard oil pan bolts. Once in position, they securely hold the gasket and oil pan in correct alignment, freeing both hands to begin installing the actual fasteners. When the pan is fully secured, the Snap-Ups are simply removed and stored for future use — no drilling, tapping, or engine modification required.

Key Features:

• Eliminate the need for a third hand during oil pan and gasket installation, enabling a true one-person job
• Thread directly into existing engine block bolt holes — no drilling or modifications needed
• Snap-in design holds both the gasket and oil pan in correct alignment throughout the entire installation process
• Fully reusable construction — easily removed after installation and stored for future use
• Versatile application — suitable for oil pans, transmission pans, differential covers, and other similar gasketed assemblies
• Available in multiple thread sizes to accommodate a wide range of engine applications
• Included with Fel-Pro PermaDryPlus® and most PermaDry® oil pan gasket sets, or available separately
• Compact and lightweight — takes up virtually no space in any toolbox or service kit

Whether you're a professional technician or a hands-on DIYer, Fel-Pro Pan Snap-Ups are a practical, time-saving addition to any engine service toolkit. They reflect Fel-Pro's commitment — backed by over 100 years of sealing expertise — to not only providing premium-quality gaskets, but making the installation process as straightforward as possible.
