I have a couple inches of surface rust where my rubber gasket is supposed to go on my oil pan. How would you remedy that? Do I just remove it and make sure that anywhere the gasket doesn't cover is protected?

Just sand it down anywhere a gasket don't touch you can paint but make sure its high heat paint.

So what about the area that is rusting that is where the gasket will touch?

Can I not prime the rusted areas on the pan before painting?

[andrewmp6]

The part the gasket touches you want to sand smooth so the gasket will seal.Anywhere else paint it just make sure its high temp paint.

So I can't use Zero Rust on the body before painting?
