One of the big reasons why 3/s's spin bearings is that the oil pans get dented which messes up the oil pan to pickup clearances.

I completely understand what you mean, and you know I always value your opinion... but, the car has 186k miles, its been beaten, bruised and I all I'm hoping for it to make it through the winter.
I was completely surprised that it fired right up when I put the new oil pan on. So really, I'm just going to drive it until the Spring.
