oil pan brain fart

[patrickj]

Hi all I have a bit of a problem. I am reinstalling the oil pan on my 85 after my re-build and i can not remember where the studs go back in. I took photos but not real good ones.My main concern is with the four 5/16 studs with inverted torx on the ends.Are there any diagrams available?Its hell being 50.HELP!!!! ;help

The 4 big ones go at the ends ; one either side of the crank hub and one either side of the balancer .Allow you to slide pan up and hold with nuts while you get the rest of the bolts started
Depending on model there are also 1/4" studs in places to hold things like the shield over the knock sensor , pipes for the oil cooler lines , etc
