Hey everyone. I had the ultimate fail happen this afternoon. You might want to sit as you will probably find this amusing. So I was installing the t stat and housing and when I was bringing the bolt and washer over the washer slipped off the bolt and I heard a "ting" , ( keep in mind the timing cover is also off) my heart dam near stopped. I realized it had fallen into the oil pan!!!!!!! Fml. Yes I no. Why didn't he have it covered with a rag? I did. I just wiped my hands with it because my other one was on the bench. Anyways looooooong story short I dropped the pan and was lucky to purchase one for Napa today. Question . Should I do the pan gasket first and then the timing cover After? Also any tips on replacing the gasket would be awsome. I hope you all enjoyed my confrontation with complete retardation this afternoon. Here is a pic of the washer. And yes I'm giving my self the finger. Sheesh
