Yesterday I went through the exceedingly labor intensive task of replacing the oil pan gasket. I wasn't able to get it all put back together before the sun set. And its going to rain for the next week it seems so she is in a half assembled state right now. But while bolting things back together I noticed that it APPEARED as though the metal clip on the rag joint (looks like the latch on a house window) was bent during the process.
Or it is SUPPOSED to look like this?
I can't find many points of reference online. Of the few pictures I could find online some looked to have the same bend. So I'm wondering if I didn't mess it up at all and I just never noticed this bend?
