got my lower oil pan off filter off oil is out.
got some major questions though.
i've got some plastic pieces in the bottom of my lowerr oil pan and that can never mean a good thing
does any one have any idea what these pieces are.
i'm taking a break to eat then i'm bakc out there to remove the upper oil pan.
i started removing the bolts for the top pan only to find them covered in dark black sludge this can't be good eigther so i'm gonna see if i can drop the upper pan and see if i can clean everthing out and get to the oil pump.
i'm doing this in my drive way and i'm hoping those pieces aren't from the cam chain tensioners. of something else that important and expensive/super hard to replace.
it looks like i'll ber able to remove the top pan from the truck with the engine in the compartment, which is a huge plus. huge,
i'll get some pics for proof. and for further reference.
