Need help installing new oil pan

[DisgustipatedAP1]

Anyone done one of these before? I've never had to do one. If anyone near Riverside has experience doing it and wouldn't mind helping me, let me know. I can give you tons of beer and some $ for your help. :( I have to move in 2 days so it's kind of mission critical that I get this out of the way.

What happened to the old pan?

Rent an engine support bar from autozone, set it up, lift engine, drop subframe, swap pans.

Drop engine on floor. Come back to r3v. Ask for help

Some asshole left one of these in the freeway off-ramp.

You make it sound so easy, lol. Realizing I have to drop the sway bar as well, and the power steering pump makes one of the bolts a bitch to get to. Fucking power steering. :(

Dropped engine on cat, cat is dead. How do I fix cat?

Where you at? Yeah, I got the E34 pan...

S2000 is inferior in every way. However, I have never seen an S2000 oil pan get owned like an E30's. :nice:
