oil pan plug

[WyattEarp]

Okay i decided this am before heading to bed to drain the oil and let it drain while i sleep, i think GRAPE APE put that damn plug back on cause i can't budge it, going to get my breaker bar and hope for the best i guess...

will let you all know what happens, i don't understand why pple tighten these things so damn tight, hand tight with a ratchet is all i tighten the other one up with and have had no leaks what so ever... .

These oil pans are pretty stout... the threads are probably ok. I'll keep my fingers crossed for ya though...

Crossing your fingers worked Jay, i got it off, but i know that was on there any more than just 60ft lbs... got the oil filter off also with no problems, did have to take a pair of channel locks and turn the oil fill cap to get it loose, they is one thing about it they sure kept everything tight just as tight as the engine is. My only thought is if this engine will be using oil, i don't think with only 97000 miles on it that it should use much if any but i am used to the 24V not using a drop in between oil changes and i know this is a different animal all together

Well time for bed, hopefully my filters from genos will be here when i wake that way i can do oil, air and fuel filter change... Jay did you read my post on the new steering shaft, wow what a difference, its amazing and i feel safe driving it now for sure.

Glad the shaft worked out for you. I know it made a world of difference to mine. My 92 uses no oil between changes either and I have almost 200,000 on mine so I don't think you will have a problem with oil consumption.
