yup, last weekend.

if you're still on the same subject... put the front up on stands, undo
the front two subframe bolts (subframe will drop about 5") and then you
can get to all the flywheel cover/oil pan bolts.

btw, the flywheel has two big slots in it that allow the removal of the
two rearmost oil pan bolts.  It can be turned by hand lying under there.

Don't forget new gaskets.

Pix on my project (which went as far as the oil pump gasket) will be up
in a few days when I junk my camera
