Another thing to consider is to rust proof your oil pan if you live in states where they use salt and deiceing chemicals on the roads.. You have pull the engine to replace the pan.. Been reading alot of posts here where oil pans are leaking becuz of rust..
Hook it, I'll pull it.

Thats another good call Clint. That would be tuff, pull the engine to fix a rust spot that leaked. Preventive maintance.

I have to lift the engine to change the pan....Seems a little easier to rust proof it before it leaks. I had to do the same on my 94'f250...took the pan back to the parts store and used apoxy to fix a leak when I ran something over and punctured the pan...

Couldn't you do a sacrificial anode like they do with underground piping? Or would the more reactive metal cause problems or have a lower melting point....hmmm.... anyway... Stove pipe paint would work good as said above, or get an aluminized steel exhaust...my IDI had that and it didn't rust up at all...
