MY CAR RUNS! New oil pan, oil pickup/strainer bent back into place (just a little prybar action), and 3 rounds of fresh oil... I got her back up and running. She is a tank!

Plus... I have a new ashtray! :D

HAHA epic! I hope she does well with more miles. Glad she's back on the road!

Re: Ricer Pete's Galant
 

Niiice. Good to know it's up and running around!

Re: Ricer Pete's Galant
 

Very nice, :borat:

Re: Ricer Pete's Galant
 

Congratulations on getting it running, however I would suggest you replace the pickup/strainer. That is designed to sit in one specific place for a reason and if it is tweaked could result in engine damage later down the road.

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.

Re: Ricer Pete's Galant
 

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. :)

Re: Ricer Pete's Galant
 

Hooray!!!! good news!

Re: Ricer Pete's Galant
 

What will the spring bring?

Well if the timeline is that short, let it buck. It's a good experiment. :aikido:

I know I haven't been around lately, been dealing with a lot of shit.

And all the sudden this happened today. This is the end of this build thread.
