are the bolts holding the steel pan alos for the alluminum pan, or is there more under the steel pan?? ALso is the alluminum pan the only thing that will come out(oil pump, crank pulley)?

What, the heck are you guys talking about. the seccondary pan does not pull the main caps down too. or the oil pump, crank pully.

Yes there are more bolts under the oil pan. they are star pattern bolts. and yes the oil pan bolts hold the seccondary pan on as well. you dont need to tap the seccondary pan for your return, the oil pan is sufficent.

He said that where they drilled the pan there was oil coming out. This is why he wants to drill the uper pan. THis is where I have mine and have had no probs.
