Well this past weekend was full of excitement!
I started installing my GPI cam and Katech oil pump. I am doing this with the motor still in the car. So if you are wondering YES you can remove the oil pan with the motor in the car.
You will need to remove the motor mounts and jack the car up by the front of the trans to get enough angle for the pan to drop out.
Everything was going pretty smooth. until I got to the cam retainer bolts.
3 out of the 4 retainer bolts had stripped out. plus my extractor broke off in one of them! so after hours of carefully drilling, heating, swearing, and praying. I was able to get them all removed!!!
