No I didn't use them. If you saw the pan you'd realize they wouldn't work. Something that might work would be the cylinder washers like the motor mount bolts have on them.

Anyways, I had the pan 95% installed, remote filter mounted, lines run, and everything before I tried to do the final tightening on the bolts. I was about to go 95%, then do another 95% undoing it, then another 100% installing a new pan.

About the oil accumulator, I thought the guy said is this the same "thing" as an oil accumulator because I talked about the baffles. My bad.

The actual pan was like $378, but I had it overnighted to me ($96), I had to go out and buy the spin on adapter seperately ($52), special order four fittings, etc, and with taxes, shipping, and other stuff it probably came out to $650.
