Right now I'm in the middle of dropping the oil pan, what a bitch!
I got that sealant from autozone, as well as some fittings for the oil lines and for the intake mani vacuums.

I'll finish up tomorrow, some of those bolts are directly above the frame, no room to even get a wrench in. I'll probably have to cut some of the plastic in order to slide a wrench back there. Fun stuff.

I'm trying to unscrew the oil supply boss from the block, but damn it's on there good. Having an automatic doesn't help at all either, transmission is always in the damn way. I guess I need a longer set of allen keys. Just venting that's all.

Well, I would post "moar" pics, but I'm still stumped trying to figure out how to get this plug out.
Sounds silly I know, but I've wasted nearly all day messing with it. I'm totally lost for words, it will NOT come out!
I've tried a 7mm, but it is too big, 6 mm spins when I try, and I'm quickly stripping it. Any suggestions?
Here's some pics while I sort this mess out.

I see on the manifold you have map sensor, brake booster, then what are the other 2 vac lines going to... please explain need info for my turbo build lol
also I used chanel locks when I took my galley plugs off my engine last summer. Just get a nice grip on the endge of the hex bolt and lock the pliars tight. One quick twist should nock it loose. ya 6mm is too small and 7 mm is too big I have had the same problem

And btw, the other two lines are to my bov and then my boost T, where I'll hook up the gauge and in the future, my boost controller.
Damn you people make this sound so simple, .

Passenger side or driver side? I'm auto, so there's this huge support bar in the way of the other two plugs.
That vice lock trick might work, it looks like there's just enough room to grip the outsides of it.
I'm at work right now, gotta wait til I get home to try it.
