Oil pan sheared bolts

[Kruncher]

Finally got those studs out! The engine was completely drained of any oil …realized I had a small oil leak (rear seal perhaps), so added some Lucas Oil Leak stuff … hated to hear the car start … but the metal on dry metal noise only lasted a couple seconds! Doh!

For future reference, crank the engine without starting it to build up oil pressure and get the oil flowing throughout the engine.

In JKs, you can do this by pressing the throttle to the floor and holding it there while cranking the engine. I don’t know if this works with other modern vehicles.

I tried to think of how to do this with a bmw … didn’t feel like pulling fuel pump fuses, … hope it didn’t do much damage!

Works on a JT too, just wasn't prepared to see 73 psi
