Re: Oil Pan Banged Up, Rattling
Congrats!! There is no better feeling than getting to the end of a project and finding out the car still actually works.

Re: Oil Pan Banged Up, Rattling
I've now noticed what seems to be a small leak coming from the front of the oil pan at the seal. Could I have tightened it too much? Is it possible to rectify the leak at all? In any case, it's very minor.
Also, a strange rattling coming from what I believe to the rear half of the car while idling. I want to say the exhaust but I'm not sure.
Bubbles can be seen coming from under the spark plugs which have some oil in their bowls from a blown valve cover gasket. Spark plugs are probably loose or need replacing, as the car is missing every once in a while.
Lots of projects ahead of me!
