I'm suprised we don't have to drop the engine to do an oil change.

Glad you did it your self. It pays to.

It was nice to know that I can still work on cars at my age of 63 .Didn't even have to contort the old body up in to punishing angles to do the job. But I cheated -still have my hoist plus a full complement of tools.I put myself thru school in the 60s working on cars and also worked on them full time in the 70s. A hell of a lot has changed since then under the hood-some better-some not. I was very surprised to see the whole bottom section of the crankcase is designed like a reinforcing griddle also comlpete 4 bolts on all main bearings.Like after market parts for full blown race engines. I'd bet that bottom end could handle near 400 horse in stock setup.---Bob
