My motor went down on August 2004 due to oil starvation (yea yea I know) I had a MAJOR oil leak coming from my oil pan and one night I got on it hard and my motor went dead. I had to put the car away because right after that I got deployed to Iraq. Now fast forward to late 2005 I got my car out of storage and took the motor out to get rebuilded and street ported. Here are some pictures of my progress so far.

man...i have the same oil leak problem right now....i was going to wait till the car goes to pettit...but now im all scared my car is going to die early...

 

Thanks for all the comments guys She's getting a full makeover, everything from the wiring harness to the smallest thing that I could think off is brand new and well worth it.

Yes you better try to get that fix ASAP I know that oil leaks tend to be a pain in the *** specially if they're coming from the oil pan but I learned my lesson and mine was REALLY bad, I was pouring at least 1 to 2 qt of oil a day and where ever I parked I used to leave a puddle of oil I hated it. Hopefully this time around I torque the oil pan down good and it should be seal properly if not I'm going to have to go with the Gotham racing oil brace.

 

Damn.

You could birth a baby through those ports man.

Pretty nice.
