Re: Oil Pan Replacement

Replaced the pan and rear seal today.....went pretty easy.<br /><br />Think wife is getting pi$$ed because I am spending so much time on this project.......that's why I am doing small peices at a time. Hope to reinstall engine next w/e and the install the heads (which are on their way).<br /><br />Had one small problem whem removing the engine. After removing the rear mounting bolts and the front mountin, nuts. we started to lift the engine, thought I had the hoist off center because the starbord front mount was not breaking free. After several attempts I decided to remove the entire mounting bracket from the stringer. In the process, 1 of the bolts broke on the stringer. <br /><br />Any suggestions here?<br /><br />Should I start another post for this?

Tony, you said...<br /><br />"Think wife is getting pi$$ed because I am spending so much time on this project....."<br /><br />Easy solution, let her help you, get her involved. I think that she just wants to have some attention focused on her, she's probably ovulating, (or somthing). <br /><br />If that doesn't work, encourage her to go get a new outfit! some coveralls...sl
