Reseal & gasket on 5.9L pan

3406pk said

The oil pan gasket seal is seeping on the 5.9L engine in my Duster. It has spool mounts. It is stock LA pan and there is a windage tray inside also. If I drop tie rod links, can I get engine high enough to remove pan. Hate to pull engine just for that. Front seal is not leaking; so hope to just do pan gasket. Thanks for the help and advice.

It would be easier to access by dropping the center link, however, the oil pan may interfere with the k-frame, you may need to loosen the motor mounts and lift the front of the engine for easier access,,,

Lifting up the front of the engine will allow you to get the oil pan in place without knocking the gaskets off location... Without jacking up the engine, it will be hard to install the oil pan and gaskets while maneuvering around the k-frame...
