Well r3v my day started great. Got a fair deal on a M20B25 with G260, picked it up, got it home, was taking it off the truck and........................ about two feet from the ground I turned the handle the wrong way on the engine hoist........ bammmmm as I look at what seemed so full of promise and grab some paper towels to mop up the oil seeping into a black pool around my cracked oil pan. I wonder three things and the first is rhetorical.
1. How could I be so stupid.
2. Oil pan and transmissions mounts took the hit. What do I need to check and should I just pull the head and make a coffee table?
3. How long until I find this funny?
I'm going to go try and mop up that oil nowLast edited by tiger_e30; 06-09-2018, 12:59 PM.

Other then looking for fluid pouring out of the engine and transmission i don't know what to check

Buddy is a welder so I'm going to see if he can fix the pan
I was planning on doing a compression check but my plan now is.
1. Remove the transmission.
2. Install the motor onto the engine stand.
3. Clean everything and look for cracks.
4. Have a friend(certified welder) see if he can tig the oil pan.
5. Maybe buy a liquid penetrate kit to check for small cracks on the block.
What am I missing?Last edited by tiger_e30; 06-10-2018, 05:34 AM.
