HELP need help taking off my oilpan putting on a brace
hey everyone well i just rebuilt my motor broke it in and tuned it but now its leaking. so i bought garfinkles oil pan brace to stop the leakage. i was originally going to do it myself but i didnt know taking off the oilpan had so much work to it. i called up rr&r and mazdatrix and they both quoted me $400+ just to do this (i was like f that). its like i would seriously do it if i had a lift but these shops are like leaking dry. when i drive the car and look under it doesnt seem to be leaking but when i turn it off and let it chill in my garage there is like a small puddle of oil. is there anyone local that could help me? i could also help so you wont be doing all the work by yourself.

exactly!
this isn't a job you can do easily in your backyard with jackstands.. $400 is about right for how much work it entails and you really do need a car hoist to do it. if you have no emissions and or a single turbo on the car it may be easier to just pull the motor out.

yeah i decided that i'll probably just take it to mazdatrix and shell out 400 bucks. i could also ask them to find the problem with my add coolant light which rr&r failed to do.
