Oil Pan Leaking
#21
Just to let you guys know, I pulled the cradle down, almost blew my eyeball out trying to loosen the cradle bolts but they did come loose. I spent 2 days cleaning the bottom of the block for a clean seal. I decided to buy a new oil pan from Mazda for $80 . I used a Mazda gasket with high temp on both sides of the gasket. I put a good amount on the gasket but not so much that it would squirt out the sides and into the oil pan. I did have 3 oil pan bolts that broke , some idiot cranked them into the block hard so I had to tap and rethread. Finished the job on day 4 and NO LEAKS!! I appreacite everyone's help. It took around 3 hours to drop cradle, probably 1 hour to reinstall. I did have troble aligning the motor mounts back into the cradle holes but it wasent too bad. I put most of my time in cleaning the motor so the gasket and sealer worked properly. Anyone have any ??? feel free to e-mail me.
