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

[brian hoeft]

Not saying remove the control arms, but break the bolts free & drop down
along with the 2 front and 2 rear sub-frame bolts.

I thought the CA bolts went through the sub, into the body. I dont remember
getting enough play out of just dropping the front like you suggest. Or
maybe I was uncomfortable with the stress I was putting what remained
attached.

Whatever the case, I do remember trying to be minimal about removing the oil
pan and it turning into more than just two front sub bolts to get it out.
