Dave,
Thanks for the response. Anything else I need to be concerned with on the engine side whenever I take the pan off? Some of the sites that I looked at mentioned the troughs. The pan had new gaskets put on about 8 years ago but don't know if they were actually put on correctly. I just got the car back from with the outside being restored. They ran the engine but at length. I saw oil dripping from the back of the pan on the transmission side and think that the cork may have moved. Thanks for all of your help and input.
