Default Evil Oil pan

Well, The other day i went to remove the oil pan from my 3.0 shadow...
I had to undo Two engine mounts and remove the starter just to drop the pan.
But it looks like the cause to the low oil pressure is a faulty pump (brand new).
So i put it back together, then called the engine company to tell them the bad news.
Now they want to kiss my a$$ to make up for the time lost driving by paying for the tow and any other hidden costs at all.<<nice!
the oil pan took 2 hours to remove check (pump) and reistall. I do not recomend removing the 3.0's oil pan unless you want to be dirty. That rear mount is tricky and you must reach over the transaxle to get it.[sm=smiley15.gif]Evil lives there!!

Thankfully it's covered. I'm shocked that they didn't void your warranty, because you did that, most would.
