Is there any point to dropping the oil pump if it isn't needed to remove the pan eg are there components that are on a replacement schedule or recommended to clean or replace?sigpic

wow, really? for the life of me I couldn't make that happen today. I was hoping to be able to raise the engine high enough and not having to remove the pump. but I still ended up removing it.

you might want to double check your fluid level after you're all done and ran it for a bitDas ist nicht nur nicht richtig, es ist nicht einmal falsch!

I was just defeated by the upper most torx bolt on the drivers side. It just won't budge and I was afraid I would have stripped it if I kept at it. I had to button up everything else all because of that one last fucking bolt! Arggg! :hitler:
Its semi deep into the transmission tunnel... how are you guys getting at it?

I have driven this for 1500 miles now and no leaks.. I would recommend the gasket maker over the gasket..

I used the paper MTC oil pan gasket and put Hi-Temp RTV (Red) on both sides coating it, been a couple weeks now and hasn't leaked. I only use hi-temp on my car for all gaskets because it has a bigger operating window than the rest. Bigger the temp range, the more likely it will work."I wanna see da boat movie"
