Ok. how do you get the oil pan off with the engine in the car?
I removed all the bolts, loosened the gasket,..... and it'll only drop down about a half inch!!!??
Do you need to remove the header (which is alsmost resting on the oilpan)? (move it to the left?)
It seems to be catching on the oil pump(?), but I can't seem to move it in any way to get it past where it catches.....but then there is oil in the pan also, so I'm trying not to spill.
I am pulling it apart because it is leaking at the front. I don't see any leaks from the front seal or timing chain cover. I was hoping for a quick drop/cleanup, and re-install. It isn't working that way!!!
I've got to get this thing on the road real soon (yesterday would have been nice). Any help appreciated........
Thanks
Daryl
