I saw a Beretta at the junk yard with one and was curious if anyone knew what tools are needed to remove it. Thanks. 88GTRacer

Metrics mechanics tool kit and various hand type cutting tools.

I dont remember what it all involved for tools. I will say, an array of tools that would involve removing the exhaust manifolds, heat & splash shielding for just about anything, a/c parts, and wiring/insulation would be a guarantee when doing it at a junk yard. Oh, dont forget the VBFH!

I'm a big fan of the silicone heat pads that adhere to the bottom of the oil pan [may want to put it on the side of the pan for cars running over things]. its $100. $174.50 I think is the large one... last time I checked, it was $100. company is safeheet and I think there are several competitors. Here is a rough link:

they work VERY well. expect oil and engine 60F when its 30F outside.

of course, this is an aircraft link, where engines utilize steel crankshafts and aluminum cases, where its much more important.
