Hello,


I just finished installing a new oil pan and gasket on my
father's 95 Accord. It was more work then it was worth but after a few
hours I was able to get everything removed and put the new one on.
Four of the 16 bolts had nuts instead of bolts and were attached to
the upper side of where the oil pan resides. One of the bolts seems to
have stripped and I was wondering if anyone knew the correct pitch. I
am getting a little oil dripping out and will recheck all of the bolts
in the morning as the manual says to have them tightened to 10 ft/lbs.


Thanks,
Nick

Thanks for the help. I also found where the problem was with the oil
leak, it looks like the one side of the gasket slipped off of the pan.
Arrgg I gotta take it apart a bit to slip it back on.

Thanks,
Nick
