[Shotimes] Rod bearings again

[Steve Weinrich]

One of the bolts, in particular, is very difficult to see as it is recessed
in the shadow of the tranny.

There are also the two large bolts that go through the pan and into the
tranny itself, at least on my 89.

Count how many bolts you have removed already and see if you removed all of
them.  Someone who has an oil pan sitting on the middle of the dining room
table can count how many there should be and let you know if you got them
all.
