When I bought my 1990 Volvo DL 240 a year and half ago, someone ran over something crankling/dent in the bottom portion of the oil slump(where the plug is). I found someone who has one real cheap. But I also found out that you have to lift the engine to replace it. I talk to this gentleman who is retired from being a mechanic and he said that he would switch it out for $125.00 which is a really good deal because it 4 hours of labor. But then I called my Volvo repair shop and they said they have a tool and they can try and pull out the dent/crankle in the slump. Which would be best for me to do?
