Add me to the list of those that cracked their oil pan.
Was using a torque wrench, tightened up the oil drain plug, never heard a click, and eventually the bolt just starts free spinning. Have a crack in the pan and metal pieces on the bolt threads.
I found a couple posts with info - basically looks like I can spend ~$120, buy a new oil pan + gasket + oil drain plug, remove only the headers, drop the drain pan, and install the new pan without doing anything else (no draining or removing of the radiator, no removing of the water pump, no silicon required for the oil pan gasket, etc) - does that sound correct?
Any tips on any of this. Don't want to make any more mistakes.
