M50 oil pan gasket
Before you come in for the kill yes I did hit the search button but very often it doesnt work! Like now. So while the car is on stands I think I will replace the gasket. Drop all the vertical bolts including the tricky one behind the left hand mount and two that come forward through the bell housing. I read somewhere its a struggle to get out but this one wont even drop a bit. I am missing something. Apart from new glasses, anybody care to tell me what?

There are 2 more bolts, kinda hard to find. Look for 2 small openings in the bottom of the bell housing. Tucked inside the bell housing are 2 more long bolts that straddle the rear main. There's barely enough room to slip a 10 mm socket thru the holes. The pan should be free to come out after that.

my sons eyes got so bad he couldnt read without getting headaches, I looked it up and he can read all day now. I bought him an eye chart and had him study while trying to focus for 6 minutes a night. Took all of 3 weeks for his vision to repair itself. he went from 20/50 to 20/15. I need to try this to see if it helps the aged folks
