Looks like my oil pan is toast again, so Danny ordered a new one for me, it will be here Wednesday it looks like. I asked if it could be saved and he said this...

"I have hot tanked the Oil pan 3 times now and blasted 6 or 7 cans of brake clean through the seams on that internal baffle as well as about 400 gallons of compressed air!! I still can see debris stuck down in the seam. I think we just need to get a new oil pan and move forward. "

I thought about getting a Jun baffled oil pan to make sure I always have a good oil pickup point, but it didn't seem worth it at 2.5x the cost of the OEM, not to mention I am sure it would've taken weeks to get.

Danny also said he would've had the engine done Thursday if he had my head dowel pins that ERL forgot to send back, which are en route now. So getting damn close it looks like, I hope I make the cookout, thats my goal.
