'99 coupe engine repair question
Okay, guys. Can one pull the pan (both pieces) with the engine still in the car? Without raising the engine?
Part 2 - What's this I hear about some LS1s not having offsets in the pistons for the piston pin and others having an offset? Something about early/late and piston slap and etc.

The whole pan won't come out without dropping the cradle or raising the engine.
piston slap is pretty common on these motors, it's a piston to cylinder wall clearance issue. If it goes away after a slight warm up it's not a problem
