Noticed lots of scrapes on the bottom of mine when I was changing my oil the other day. Should be raising the motor today.

We all know you raised it for the trip.

[B Rod]

Raised my motor a little over 1/2" today. I could do a little more, but as Sean pointed out, I'd be worried about the fan hitting the shroud or the hood of I raised it much higher. Hopefully that half inch will keep it a bit more out of harms way. We'll see.

Has anyone on here killed a motor because of a destroyed oil pan?

Yeah, if you break a pan and run the engine long enough with no oil pressure or low oil, your engine will most likely be toast...Shot rings, cracked rods, seized pistons...the works. If you think you've broken you're pan, pull over, turn the car off, look under. Better to be safe than sorry.

I'd prolly be on numer 15 if it weren't for my skid plate:

Nice to know this skidplate holds up, I have the M42 version.
