So the motor that was designed to get thrashed for long periods of time (road course) at 7500 or a bit more has the same opg as a truck coyote? Doesn’t seem like a wise design choice.
Interesting I looked at mine and I could actually remove both bolts without issue. They only thing I would have had to do was bend a 10mm wrench for the inner bolt but would clear without issue. Interesting.If you're changing your oil pump or gears with the pan still on, getting the inboard oil pick-up attach bolt started into it's hole can be a PITA. I used a piece of plastic with a hole punched in it, inserted between the bolt head and washer to hold/ guide the bolt into the hole while turning it with needlenose to get it started. Much trouble saved.

Removing was easy, getting the bolt to start threading in (with it's full length extended) was another storyInteresting I looked at mine and I could actually remove both bolts without issue.
