Topic: installing oil pan in 1933 v8

  My engine block along the oil pan rail has 15 threaded holes for oil pan bolts but the last hole above where the starter goes near the flywheel bell housing has a larger none threaded hole. Does this pan only take 15 bolts rather than 16? any help will greatly be appreciated. See photo of area under question

  There is a bolt that comes in from the top of that hole into a threaded hole in the oil pan.

  Great! Thanks you solved the problem. Is it true that this bolt needs to be 1/8 in longer than the other oil pan bolts?

  Yes
