Pulling my oil pan, what to look for
« Reply #16 on: January 06, 2009, 08:04:52 PM »
Replaced the pan yesterday.  Didn't find any bolts in the pan and when I looked up to see if there were any empty holes I didn't see any.

This motor has been through a lot.  I've ran it low on oil, twice.  Drove for half a mile with oil pouring out of the pan.  And forgot  to tighten the oil filter cap when I started the car so tons of oil came out and the engine ran for 5 or so seconds.  233,000 miles and the damn thing is still going!
