So I made a boo boo.
I was installing the steel oil pan from DAP and stripped one of the included bolts. No biggie I'll just use one of the stock bolts. I was torquing away at the bolt with my wrench when a piece of aluminum came falling down. I failed to realize that the stock bolts are longer than the aftermarket ones, it was literally the last bolt I was working on.
I filled the car up with oil and ran it for a bit, no leaks that I can see.
How screwed am I?
