Dave, - removing that oil pan was a WISE move. I had a customer not too
long ago in a similiar situation, - and they did not contact me before
changing the oil on their recently purchased 31K-mile '55 Chrysler.
Mistake. As soon as the enigne warmed up, - that 1/2" of "paste" in the
bottom of the pan immediately found it's way to the pickup screen. The
result was not pretty (OR cheap).
Regards,
DaveG.
