I don't know about you guys, but I judge repairs by how many bolts I gots to remove in order to get the job done. The more bolts the more difficult the job. Having said that I consider myself a Two Bolt Mechanic. Allow me to give you an example and see where you fit in on the SPCTBMM Scale:
Battery Replacement - two terminals two bolts, badabing badaboom
Starter - two bolts hold it to the bell housing, done
Alternator - two bolts, one short one, one long one, LOL, but still two bolts
Thermostat - two little bolts (cut the hose with a saws all, I'm kidding use a box cutter, jk, then to replace the hose... guess what... two bolts!)
Brakes - What? No way, you have to take the wheels off and that's 4 or 5 bolts right there just to get to the calipers man! Those are lug nuts, so we get by on a technicality. LOL
Belt Replacement - see Alternator LOL, LOL, LOL
So I'm a bit perplexed I just removed the oil pan, that's 20 bolts man, 20 bolts! Does that make me the Michael Jordan of automotive repair? I mean the oil is the life blood of the engine, you don't think the oil pan plays a huge role in the scope of things, than I suggest you remove the pan and go take your classic for a spin, jk, LOL.
I mean I removed the cylinder heads and those only had 10 bolts each. And something tells me if I removed only one head and modified the intake in some crazy fashion I could get a V8 to run on just 4 cylinders (I know some of you are Googling that now, add "Deep South" to your search for quicker results - I kid, I kid). So that proves the Oil Pan is the most important piece on the car, don't believe me, name another single component held on by more than TWENTY BOLTS, 20, XX (for the Romans out there) !!!
