it appears there are two oil pans for the 5 cyl (not counting the cast
S-ones).  the big cars get one and the little cars get another - the
difference is a "dent" in the one for the little cars
(4000/coupe/UrQ?/80/90) where the radiator and A/C get close to the
engine.  New pans are about $60 or so at the dealer last I looked.
