I was busting your female balls a little back there… i dont think you took it to heart, so thats good.
But I fail to see how changing an oil pan out or what ever else is there that caused the problem, could cost any more than replacing the bottom end! Especially since in order to do the later… your replacing the shit you should have in the first place to prevent the problem! lol
Also nice to see the tooner is backing himself up, much better than the hacks we have around here producing shit and putting themselves on the top shelf, and cant back up what they preach. :thumbup
