gtstang83,
I replaced my oil pan gasket at the same time I did my timing cover...The oil pan gasket will take a lot more work...First off, I had to unbolt my p/s rack and lower it down...Next, raise the motor up all the way and then put wooden blocks underneath the motor mounts to keep it in the "up" position...Then I removed all 20 bolts that hold the pan on, and lowered it down to rest on the crossmember...At this point the pan will not slide out... I had to remove the oil pump and pickup tube...Then I slid out the pan towards the front of the car...Next, I cleaned all gasket surfaces and slid the pan back under the motor...Then I had to bolt the oil pump and pickup tube to the motor...I carefully prepped the oil pan gaskets with silicone and bolted the pan back on...It just takes a long time laying on your back underneath the car...
