civic oil pan question
Does the "band" on the oil pan come off? Meaning, on the bottom of the pan there is piece that almost seems like it could come off - the screws compress it against the pan when installing? Is it a separate piece? On the ends of mine I can compress the last screw with my fingers and hear the "crunch" of grit in there.
Thanks.

If you think a good mechanic is expensive, try hiring a bad one

Re: civic oil pan question
The rail is part of the pan. It's used as a stiffener so the bolts are less likely to deform the stamped steel.
IIRC it's only spot welded in a few places to keep it in place. I don't think it's welded the entire length.
