Chuck,
Thats not fair, I didn't knock it off, or strip any bolts, didn't even strip the 2 between the pan and bellhousing or the one hidden by the subframe. Or any others! And the sump tube was completely eaten by corrosion(water in engine). This prestone stop leak that the PO used really fouled things up. I wonder if it is "slightly" acidic and maybe that is what speeded up the demise of the sump tube. Of course just plain water might do it in the 15 years the car sat with water in it ... wait till you see the oil pump, hehehe
Best Regards,
Bill.
