[Shotimes] Loud Knocking on Start Up

[Hartberger, Jason M. AT2 (AW)]

Yeah, actually, how the heck do you get that oil pan off? It looks
pretty complicated... and I'm guessing cleaning it out while it's off
would be a good idea?

So easy and cheap to do on the V8 it should be done at 100k minimum.
Really
around 60k if you abuse the car, or 30k if you really, really abuse the
car.
Same bearing as the 3.0L Duratec.

On my '93 mtx other than the oil pan dance it was pretty easy too.  Once
the Y
pipe is off.
