Default I've never seen.....

.....an oil pan in better shape than this one.

Imagine that, the oldest Pontiac engine I've ever had the pleasure to play around with has the most perfect oil pan, not a dent or ding to be seen. It was also the filthiest one I've ever had to clean.

Oil pan porn.





Here you can clearly see where the new for 1959 Pontiac light blue paint dripped down the sides of the pan while the engine was being painted on the assembly line over 56 years ago.









Back on again keeping dirt out of the 389.



The timing cover cleaned up pretty nice too.

I can't believe how heavy it is.
