just some info dont know if its useable but here it goes just did a 2.5 swap in my 96 and have had nothing but problems
1. the 2.3 oil pan will fit on the 2.5 except one bolt and useing the 2.3 pickup tube
2. pickup tube clearance issues had to bend
3.oil leaks from rear oil pan seal
4.oil pressure issues at idle
so what i am trying to say is do not use 2.3 parts on a 2.5 or vice versa as the 2.3 pan is to small the pickup tube too short and the back of the pan is almost a 1/16 of an inch off (enough to cause 4inch puddle every time you shut it off) and if you wanna go ahead and do it any ways go ahead but it will cost you your bottom end
and just to add the engine i put in had just under ten thousand kilometers yes 10,000
i used the 2.3 pan as the 2.5 one was cracked thanks to my dumb ass so its at the welding shop now getting fixed
does any one know if i am going to have to pull the motor again to change this f***ing pan????????
