Just bought this 97 Mustang GT a while back. Fun car, and I just put it on coil-overs.
Long story short, I believe I put a small-medium dent in the oil pan (I'm honestly unsure if it was there before, but this problem started after I bottomed out on a speed bump). The dent is near the back, on the lowest part of the pan. Here's the main problem though:
Engine has run fine, but when I'm flooring it in first and second gear it definitely sounds like a spinning engine component is scrapping another part. Doesn't do it when I'm going easy in those gears, and doesn't do it while flooring it in 3d, 4th, etc.
I'm unsure what it means when it only scraps at full bore in first and second. I'm guessing there's simply more vibration, and that's why it's able to reach the dent in the pan in only those gears?
Anyway, if you think I gotta replace the pan, comment the best way to do it. I have access to an engine hoist so if just disconnecting the transmission and engine mounts is the easiest, I can go for it.
Thanks,
Blake
