[Mgs] MGB oil pan removal

[Paul Hunt]

Can also be the crank pulley seal.  Timing cover 1/4" and sump screws 
are only 6 ft lb, TC 5/16" screws are 14 ft lb.  It's easy to distort 
the flanges making them bulge up between the screws because of the cork 
gasket, tightening further makes it worse. I've seen a reinforcing strip 
for both.

> Guys,  I decided not to remove my oil pan after seeing it was more difficult than I had thought.  My engine looks to be leaking from the junction of the oil pan and timing cover.  I’m not certain it was the pan gasket.  I ended up tightening all the lower bolts for the timing cover and front pan.  I sprayed degreaser and cleaned the area.  I’ll continue to watch and see if I can find the leak source.
