working for the municipality

[lancylad]

Spent a few hours yesterday removing tar and asphalt from the engine and chassis...I did the local municipality a favor by removing the top three inches of one of their pot hole repairs....the front of the oil pan has battle scars but no holes our leaks. Phew!

What is your clearance under the engine pan ? I'm at around 3 3/4" and haven't hit anything yet.

[Z3 Stalker]

Klasik-69 you obviously have not driven in Alberta, the further north you go the worse it gets

Hard to explain frost heaves to a Florida resident. :-)! Just think of Florida sink holes that the road crews "overfill" so that cars and trucks can pound them flat. Only problem is coming across one before the heavy high clearance cars have flattened it out.

At least in Canada you have frost heaves to blame, here in Cakifornia it's just bad road repair,

I only have two inches of clearance.....:ack:

2 inches really...

that is asking for trouble on the road, anywhere.

By the way , is that lowest point the oil pan, apart from that what is the next low point?

[lancylad]

That is the lowest point. I have the 1.9 cvh Ford , I also have an oil pan marked out ready to be shortened, another of those things on the to do list.

Steve,

If you did not drive it all winter through, you may be able to the mods/upgrades you have planned

Wouldn't have had so much fun tho...
