Sweet! I bet it squats pretty hard now. Those cars always looked like they were about to blast off, even stock.

Keep running new oil through it. When you drain it, jack it up so that the drain hole is the lowest point and gets everything. That's about all you can do. Oil floats on water, so the water will be at the bottom, BTW.

I dunno if I can get the pan off with the motor in, but thats a possibility... it's that funky rear sump KA that sorta wraps around the crossmember.

I'm not terribly worried about it. As long as I keep flushing it for the next few weeks it shouldn't be a big deal I don't think.
