Re:What the ---- is the point of taking off your oil pan???
I couldn't imagine NOT taking the pan off to do it. If I did leave the pan on, I wouldn't be able to stop thinking about all of those little shavings bouncing all over the place getting stuck in all sorts of ----. Just take the oil pan off.

Re:What the ---- is the point of taking off your oil pan???
I don't know what these people are so worried about. Don't listen to them. I just drilled the oil pan and left the shavings in there.
On an unrelated note my car smokes like a bitch now, makes funny noises and sounds like its going to explode. Also the oil lines to the turbo are completely clogged. Does anybody know why its doing this? Thanks for the help.

BUT, if they get past the strainer on the oil pump, they WILL seize it up. yuo don't wanna be at 6000rpm when that happens. i've seen the aftermath of it on one of our FSAE cars, when the pumps stopped and the motor was spinning 19,500 rpm. gave whole new meaning to "catastrophic engine failure."
and the pump siezed because of one tiny wire shaving that made it into the housing. i'm not a gambling man, so i wouldn't do it, but it's up to you in the end.
