Not sure if you did it already but...
Remove your cross member, and your exhaust pipe from your exhaust manifold joint to your next joint some people call it the "J" pipe. After those two are removed there is a metal cover that covers the bottom portion of your tranny, remove that. After that is removed removed all the bolts out of the oil pan you may have to pry on the pan it is glued on there. Clean every single "Fig Pig" debris from both the oil pan and block, not one sec of debris can be left. Once all the debris is removed set the oil pan upside down on the floor look for bent sides from prying. You must make sure the pan is as straight as possible. Use brake cleaner to remove oil from the block and oil pan surface, using "Fig Pig" or sealent make a nice solid bead around the whole man passing through the holes for the bolts. Once done place the pol pan back careful not to damage your trumpet place the pan back on the block using the two studs to guide you push hard without releasing any force and start both nuts snug them on. After that place all the bolts in their place do not tighten in a circle but criss cross to evenly place the pan on the block. Don't over torque!!! grab your ratchet by the head and tighten your bolts it's plenty of torque. Good luck. |

I've got to say, getting secret answers on a forum and not posting them to the original thread is pretty damn unhelpful.
