So I installed the Z1 oil pan spacer. Have a problem...
I made the slippery sandwich of oil pan, grey RTV, spacer, grey RTV and was trying to line up the holes and needless to say, it slipped around a bit. BUT, I got it lined up and hand tightened the bolts. I let it sit for and hour, then tightened a little more to spec. I let this sit overnight, and about 15 hours later I filled with Redline oil. (A Mobil 1 oil filter was also changed out before the spacer was put on). Anyway, I went to start the car, which was on 4 jack stands and let it run for 10 minutes. I checked for leaks, there are none. I turn off the engine. So I get the car down and get in and was about to take it for a drive. I start the car and notice the low oil pressure light is on in the dash. I don't now if this was on during the 10 minutes I let it run because I was not in the car, I was underneath it checking for leaks.
Why is the low oil pressure light on?? Could it be that some of the RTV slid off while wet when I was trying to install it into the oil pan, dried, and is now blocking the pick-up screen? I also hope I didn't do any engine damage while it idled for 10 minutes. The engine sounds normal, no clunking noises or anything. So now I'm at the point where I am going to drain the oil out again through a screen filter, and redo the spacer installation. Ugh!!

I hate black cars... 3 hour wash and detail.

Edit: I hate rust on rotors more

Love/hate relationship, for sure, but totally worth it.

Finally took the car out for some spirited driving. Left Buffalo this morning at 9 for Pennsylvania. Just got back. Awesome roads. Wish I had a way to take pictures while driving the curvy roads because they were beautiful.

Started filling out the permit for nitrous oxide

Installed iJDMTOY running, brake & backup light. Looks very cool.

While I was in the hatch area, covered the wheel wells, spare and cross brace with Noico 80 mil butyl sound dreading material. I did not have a way to measure before and after road noise. Subjectively the road noise is less bright or tinny. I like it.

Ugg, not good. The 2nd oil pan has to come off along with the front of the engine. Timing chain and all. Hope you got the skills for it otherwise it is going to get expensive.

I just got home from a day trip to Yellowstone NP. All day with the top down. We saw lots of wildlife including two black bear. It's a good day!
