Q about oil bolts for oil pump....... I've searched and found a few answers but, I'm dropping my oil pan for my cam install and the two long bolts in the back, closest to the ground, what do they thread into? I loosened them up about a half a turn and they wiggled some. Also, I'm trying to get the last bolt on the driver's side, right where the oil filter screws onto, I can't get to it to loosen it, has anyone else have any trouble with this?
Thanks,
Robbie

The two long back skinny bolts thread into the rear cover. When loosening them they will feel like not much is happening but they are actually coming out. They go through the oil pan gasket that's why they feel like they wiggle.
