No, the gasket didn't come off clean. The first picture of the sump I posted today was right after removing the gasket. That thing that appears to be some chemical rubber was left in the sump mating surface. The block surface didn't have that, it was clean. Do the sump bolts need blue loctite or something? |

One tip when you put the gasket on to keep it from moving is to use a little bit of superglue on the gasket tabs that do not form a sealing surface. I circled the areas on your photo. Just use a dab to hold it in place when you are positioning the pan. Happy wrenching!

Thanks! It's already there. I'm torquing bolts now. I used the suggestion of the DYI, two zip ties in opposite sides holding the gasket. Worked good.
If the engine was opened before, it makes me think that this could be the second set of 088/089 bearings this car runs, hence the "not catastrophic" condition of them. Just a thought, who knows. |

Damn it, man!! I'm furious with this steering spindle!
F***, I had to raise and lower the subframe many times, and that shit wouldn't go in! Had to do two things, one is the oil. Another is: put the bolt and tight it up. Then extract it again, only then the spindle went in. I think that it became too much opened during the removal, that wouldn't fit the mating geometry of the steering rack axle. Much much time lost here, and now my wife will make me sleep in the couch. S*** So, more beers and let's finish all the job tonight. |

One question.
Should I torque the engine mount with the subframe lowered? If so, when I raise the subframe, won't the load on the engine mount be increased, and that would change the torque setting? But if not, there is no way to fit the torque wrench there inside with the subframe raised. |

Midway through the bearing swap. Everything was going according to plan, then the last freaking bolt for the oil pickup bracket wouldn’t budge.
Then this happened. Used some duct tape to finally get the bolt out extra careful no metal shavings were left behind. Huge relief but this will delay my rebuild a few days as I wait for 4 new bolts. Anyone know why I have different lengths? Maybe a superseded part? According to ETK, the part number is 07129905692. The offending bolt.

I have a vague recollection that those bolts had blue loctite on them. If so that would make them harder to break free and increase the possibility of stripping if you were not careful to keep your socket square and fully seated. Also with torx beware some sizes are pretty close and people often use the wrong, looser one and that results in damage or stripping. This is true of both male and female torx. I have done it and learned my lesson.
Lengths vary. Ideally you would remember which lengths went where. Or can tell by looking. If not maybe SYT’s DIY has that detail or he can tell you since he has done the job about 10 times. |

Damn. First time I've seen that, although as pbonsalb says, they have blue loctite on them from the factory
The slightly longer ones go through two? layers of metal before getting threaded into the block |

As far as I can remember all the cars I've done have 2 long and 2 short. However, it's clear the short size would also fit on all the positions. Maybe the long one does as well.
