This is an S10 ZR2 with 14 thousand miles
On a recent 600 mile trip the engine oil ran out and the engine froze 5 miles from home. I will fix the engine by removing it from the vehicle. The problem I'm having is removing the cast aluminum oil pan. I cannot find the two of the 12 oil pan bolts; the two rear bolts, I cant remove the engine because I have to rotate the crankshaft to separate it from the flywheel and the engine is frozen. My option is to drop the oil pan loosen the bearing caps and the rotate the shaft but first I have to find and remove those two hidden rear oil pan bolts. Can you help me?
