that's what I was thinking originally. A self tap framing screw with a rubber washer , then coat it in rtv. After all the snow gets out of here.
Second post says it all
"The oil pump needs to be removed and dropped in the pan before the pan can be removed. Installation is the reverse, easier said than done. "
Would be OK, if you had a second wrist joint at 90 degrees to the standard one we all have.
I pulled the pan once on a 6.9 and changed bearings in the truck--NEVER AGAIN!
thanks for all the ideas. When I get a chance I'm going to try a framing screw with a rubber washer. If that doesn't work either JB weld or solder some copper on the pan. The hole from the screw will be there to hold the JB. If none of those work, I'll put in the new pan in the spring. I have one so what the hell.
