Oil pan gasket change tips needed

John · 09-20-2001, 04:46 PM

I just did my oilpump 2 wks ago w/engine in the car, on my back even. It was kinda tedious but none the less its not that bad. The starter didnt have to come out and the rack is only 3 bolts (2 to hold it and 1 for steering shaft then pry it gently but firmly out, and let it hang around down there. You'll have to pull the plennum to jack high enough to remove the pan, which you would have to do to pull motor I beleive. Make sure you get a rubber one peice o p gasket ( I didnt and it was a PITA to get the rubber gaskets and cork gaskets to stay in the notches and slide pan up too) . anything you need help with, its still fresh in my mind.
