Mr_Meaty

its all good we still had the stuff we had from last time. only thing we had an issue with was removing the oil pan. so my friend had this great idea of taking a breaker bar from the top of the engine bay (end wrapped in cloth to prevent damage) and pushing down on the edge of the pan. worked great!

anyway...

aen

next time you want to take off the oil pan use razor blades and slip them into the silicone and hammer them all around, they fall into the oil pan and slices the silicone sealant in half

ahh yeah. we used razorblades to remove the sealant after it was off though...

just drove it around parked it. let it run. checked for leaks. nothin :D sweeet. gonna put some degreaser ont he underside to pretty it up

aen
