@cucvrus Thank You Rick! I ordered a used one, but the idea of hammering my dented one out is a good one. I may have to do that if the pan I ordered doesn’t get here in time.I have a replacement oil pan if the need arises. I would fix the one you have. Good Luck. Happy Holidays.

p.s. @cucvrus Rick, The Rear Main Seal isn’t something I should address as well?@cucvrus Thank You Rick! I ordered a used one, but the idea of hammering my dented one out is a good one. I may have to do that if the pan I ordered doesn’t get here in time.
From what I read in the TM, taking the Pan off is fairly simple. It’s just a matter of unscrewing all the pieces, then cleaning it up. Then just add a new gasket and thin layer of Gasket Maker and bolt it back up to specs with a torque wrench.
Will I have to do anything with the Oil Pump or anything else? Is there anything else I should be aware of or pay special attention to? I just don’t want to undo it all and go what do I do now?
I’m still learning.

@cucvrus Rick, I have a quick question. Should I use the small separate rubber part of the Oil Pan Gasket or just put Gasket maker in it’s place?You are all good. The biggest PITA is keeping the trans cooler lines tucked to the side. Easy done with a zip tie or bungee. Good Luck. You can do this. I use the gasket and Permatex the Right Stuff. Done hundreds of engines and never had issues.
Here is an alternative video to the conventional motor mounts installation guide.I'm late to this thread, but I run the Off Road Design mounts anytime I need to replace a set. They area significantly stronger than the OEM style clamshell design.

The frame side is the sleeve with bushings, and the plate is the motor side. The motor just drops into place and then you pin it with the bolt through both sides

@87cr250r I had a feeling he was full of it! He just didn’t install it! Ugh!Yes, you're missing one. You can see witness marks from the bolt that used to be there. It would be wise to replace it.
No, it wasn't sheared off. There is no way that bolt could see forces that would cause it to shear.
