[s-cars] Borescope'ing the oil pick-up

[djdawson2 at aol.com]

 I never said anything about removing your control arms...

Seriously, you can get the oil pan out by just dropping the front of the subframe... no need to touch the control arm points.  BTDT...

I know, but I just replaced the control arms and im a hardware freak. "Always replace" may not mean always, as I remember you speaking to before, but my policy is to replace them every other time and they've all been re-torqued once..

 If you've got that sort of concern, I'd just drop the oil pan... it isn't that rough.

Brian,

17-3 of the AAN engine manual shows the pick up in illustration 17-303, looks to 

be in the front to me.
Here is a link where you can download the manual in pdf format.

Hi list,

I am concerned that I may have a contaminated engine oil pick-up screen.

Wondering if anyone has had any success using a borescope in the oil pan.

I forget, but ithought the AAN pick-up is in the front of the pan, but
forget if the baffles, however minimal, or dimensions make using a borescope
for this task even possible, going in through the drain plug hole.

A colleague of mine has a snap-on borescope with fancy lighting effects, but
if it cant even contort into place, whats the point.

Just typing to know if theres any BTDT for this scenario.

thanks, Brian
