I'm not sure if anyone is still monitoring this thread, but I figured i would give it a shot.

I'm in the middle of an oil pan upgrade and I scraped the underside of the engine where it meets the pan. Since I'm upgrading the pan, I didn't care about the oem pan getting damaged so I pried it off using a chisel and a flathead screw driver. You can see the damage in the pic. I'm thinking about sanding it down very lightly. Since the ultra grey gasket sealer actually maintains the seal, does anyone think this will cause an oil leak once the new pan is on?
