[Mgs] MGB oil pan removal

[Paul Hunt]

I've not had to do it on my 4-cylinder but have on the V8 which is 
similar.  I used a ring spanner from the front - ratchet ring ideally.  
If you can lift the engine that should give more room, as would 
disconnecting at least the left-hand engine mount.  I think I raised my 
V8 putting a block of wood largely covering the sump pan and jacking 
under that.
