No shit huh? What city are you in? Have we passed eacthother cruising around ya think? I'd pay you 70 bucks, cash money...I'll bring new oil and a filter too.

 

I live in Lake Forest, so maybe we have. I may have even given you a dirty look.

Just PM me and we can arrange something. If you are available next weekend, we can set a date and time and tackle this bad boy.

 

Sounds good, I'm in Trabuco Cyn. Up Lake Forest, right on Portola up Glenn Ranch in the hills there. I'll get the part and pm you.

 

I know exactly where that is. Yeah, shoot me a PM anytime.

 

ok i just did my oil pan, checked underneat the car today and i still see oil leakin a bit, not as much as it was before tho. i encountered a problem while i was doin the job tho, my buddy's torque wrench didnt work, so i had to TRY and put them on as tight as they were when i took them off. i know its a horrible idea but it was 1030 at nite and there was no chance of me gettin another one. so today, i went under the car with my dads torque wrench and set it on 10 ft lbs....holy crap, i got like 3 more turns out of the wrench. i had no idea 10 ft lbs was so much, but at the same time, lookin at the gasket above the one bolt that i tried it on, the gasket buckled out a bit over the lip of the pan, is that normal?

 

It is normal to be able to see the gasket seated flatly against the block, but if it isn't sitting flatly or bunched, your leak is probably there.

 

wow, there is no way these bolts should be at 10 ft lbs.... on all but 5 bolts i cranked and cranked forever and the wrench never clicked sayin it was at 10, and on the one stud the bolt snapped off so now i know i will def. have a leak. the more i cranked to 10 ft lbs the more the gasket squeezed out from the oil pan.

 

man all this talk about replacing the oil pan makes me wanna do it, even if I dont have to.

 

damn.. i also have a oil leaking problem on my pan, i jus took out everything and replaced the gasket but it still seems to be leaking where the flywheel cover is located. should i just redo everything again and put some hondabond on it?

 

You shouldn't need to put Hondabond on it at all.

I would check how the gasket is mating the block, because it sounds like it isn't properly sealed.
