Ouch. Thanks guys. Not sure what I'm going to do first - pull the engine and drop the oilpan, or head up to the machine shop that I left a couple grand at a week ago to do this job and knock the owner in the head...

Thanks for the replies. "Two steps forward, one step back" - seems to be a theme with these restorations (at least for rookies like me).
