i need to any way cuz i want to know what the previous owner had is the bottom end. Any way to pull pan without pulling motor and trans?

and also where can you get replacment oil squirters? and anyone know how much they cost? if i pull the pan i will probly replace them just to be safe i doubt anyone else has.

That's a good idea. When I replaced the head gasket, I decided to replace the piston rings and connecting rod bearing, so I had to removed the pan. I was impressed how much gulk i had inside my pan, between the metal plate. It took me HOURS to clean it.
