I will say this, its 50 now, and at my last position with a Fortune 500 Company they were quite impressed with my knowledge of maintenance. Every time I turn my brain around I find somebody on this site with more than some humanity, humility.
The reward is around the corner.

Sorry for the hijack Darien!  |
Thank you both for the words of encouragement, I appreciate it. Hopefully I'll get around that corner soon. Brian, no worries about the "hijack;" I have no problem with people going off topic on my thread.

Today I spent the entire day from about 12 noon to 9pm finishing up the oil pan. Finally got it locked in - hopefully with no problems. Based on what I read on this forum I torqued to 10lbs.
Putting the motor mounts was the worst, probably spent around 5 hours. The passenger side was the biggest problem; ended up messing up the threading, had to remove it, tap it, and reinstall it. I think I may have dinged my pan a bit with the countless jacking up and down, but I'm not going to worry about that. Hopefully I will never have to do this job again.
Tomorrow I have to reattach the transmission mount and the shift rod, add oil, start it up and hope I didn't make it worse than it was before. I also have to clean up my garage which I am not looking forward too. There are tools everywhere. Ugh.
