reinstalling oil pump.

[FrankWest]

I greatly appreciate everything you guys have done for me! My oil pan is so badly clogged that even new oil i added won't drain out the oil pand drain hole. I have the pan supported by a jack and i know i will have a mess when that pan drops. to be so badly plugged I am scared what i will find when i drop the pan?? I will let you know.

Hey Frank,
YOU should be scared ! When you see what is 'lurking' in there, you will wish that you had left it alone,eh ! Yeah, I have a few like that, but the 'best' one was the 30 pan with about a gallon of 'stuff' the consistency of tar. And, mixed in with the tar like substance...was pieces of piston/rings and other metal scrapings. One chunk of piston top was effectively blocking the drain. At least you've been properly warned, now you should be properly prepared, i.e.- have pan/rags under there to sop up what runs off of you ! Boy , that 'stuff' has a sweet aroma of its own !!
