187 Pan Removal
if you aren't willing to raise the engine to remove the pan, why on Earth do you even have an old car? You don't need an engine hoist. You can do it off the balancer with a floor jack and block of wood
Oh, I agree 100%, you are a smartass, ha!
Seriously though, I do agree.
I've raised the engine countless times swapping motor mounts and headers. Did it no problem.
My issue was the trans was out and the engine was supported with a steel bar across the fenders, wood and padding under it. I have a crane right there, so it seemed easier.
Also, the balancer is right above the k-frame.
Unfortunately due to the impending weather, and tired of freezing my *** off, I needed to get the trans back in and move it to make some needed space.
I'll get to it when it gets warmer again.
Oh, and the trans swap is covered in another thread, and it's not going well, again, today was not a good day.
