Oh boy..

I think I'll do a write up on replacing a 24v oil pan though. Give something back to the community.

Ha, hopefully someone who has a 24v in there e30 wont need a write up for an oil pan replacement

[avery0829]

I have an easier way of doing it in my head. So if it works out better, then I will make one. Now that a lot of 24v cars have been bought and sold some people might not. Do you have a 24v?

[Mlarsen]

tisk, tisk....

[avery0829]

18k miles and numerous road trips. I did well. Pans are wear and tear items anyways

[cbouchez]

What a pain.... I'm glad you pulled over.
BTW: I'm heading to Sea-Tac soon I'll be on the watch.

I wonder if you can get the city to pay for that. Go take a picture of that manhole.

I just chaged the oil pan gasket the other day on a 24v E30, not very fun, it would really suck if you used a G240 or G260 that does not have the holes to acces the rear bolts.

I remember coming over to your house with Josh and asking if you've ever hit/smashed your oil pan before. Haha. I suppose we should have knocked on wood ;)

[dude8383]

In here to see pan development!

[ck_taft325is]

Damn! Sorry to see it, man. That your first?

[slammin.e28]

Damn! Sorry to see it, man. That your first?

Lol....oil pan virgins....lol.... :giggle::giggle:

Considering how criminally godawful the roads are in the New York metro area, my skid plate was the best investment I've made on my car ever. Get one

[ck_taft325is]

Lol....oil pan virgins....lol.... :giggle::giggle:

;)

I still remember my first... and sometimes feel it randomly at night. That sound will never go away.

[bmw2002tiiagave]

shit. i get paranoid about my m52 swap pan driving in war zones like queens and nyc.

maybe they should just make a crazy ass dry sump system for us 24v-er's.
