Just get another pan. I replaced my engine (also an 01) a couple of years ago. Didn't think of harvesting the old one (), if I had one, I'd give it to you. Bet there's lots of us with old engines that would (I recycled mine.) Maybe I'll start a list of stuff to harvest from old engines.

Always use a new crush washer, btw. Amazon sells aluminum or brass ones for pretty cheap. You buy 10. 1 to use, 9 to lose.
