I had my oil pan replaced, and its really easy to install. Cracked min when i had my car droped 4 inches and hit bottom of it with a sewer pot. Ill see if i do a DIY so you can do it to. PLZZZZ do not let go those 110$ to mechanic you'll shoot your self once u find out how easy it is.
That sounds a little steep for bolts and a gasket.

all you do is unbolt the stuff in the way of the oil pan (its like a metal brace and a tranny cover) then unscrew all the way around the pan. it takes about 45 minutes to take it off and put it back if you have a socket adapter for a drill or air tools.

That is EXACTLY what I did. It was very easy man. Just be careful not to scar the clock when taking off old pan. And make sure you seal the new one really well. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN...just enuff. Rotate your tightening, so you evenly distribute the seal across the entire pan. You will need Honda bond and/or A new gasket..oh, and an oil pan.
I was pretty tired at the time.

hmm well by the way they say it should go, it sounds easy. It just looked like we had to do more, and I already had enough with your dam header. Haha bring me the hookah bottle next time, we can hookah and install it!
