    How the hell did you change your oil pan gasket in less then 4 hours, and with out removing your transimission. When i did my car i was working im my friends shop, he is a full time auto mechanic and does this every day. With my car up on the lift, we had to remover the start, transmission, and loosen the engine mount bolts in order to tilt it just right to work the pan out, and i still broke off the oil senser. This took us near all day, about 8 hours for me with help off and on. The only thing i can think is the cars in italy are of diffrent design.

      all I did was remove the starter, Y-pipe, A/C compressor, flywheel inspection cover and unbolted the center bolts of the motor mounts ... jack the engine up about two inches and wiggled the pan off ... it really only took me about 4 hours and a 12pk of Miller Lite. plus, air tools helped a lot.
