Changing oil pan....
I think I have a leak. How hard is it to change the oil pan? Just drain oil, take off, put on new one, torque bolts to 9lbs and refill with oil? Thx.

You'll have to remove the flywheel cover and exhuast manifold as well, but that's it.

Front end was about 4-5 feet off the ground and slammed back down. Only thing that took it was the oil pan... OUCH!
