[V8] Belly Pan repair

[rasrunnit]

Fifteen years ago I repaired a major tear in the belly pan with carbon fiber strips and Sikoflex sealant. The fix worked perfectly and is still  holding strong. The carbon fiber was scrap from my buddy who builds kayaks. I suspect it's expensive. One of the best fixes I've made on the beast.

It's best to do this work with a timing belt service. There are lots of YouTube videos that cover these seal changes,  a notable example is linked below (skip to about halfway for the seal change part) Good luck!
