oil pan with ot pulling motor

[jonnydiesel]

is there a way to do it with out movein the motor

[sgg93]

I guess you could cut the supports...easier to just unbolt the motor mounts and lift it up til you can get the pan off. IDK if you can do it on a powerstroke but we've done it on a 70 chevy smallblock motor before. As close as that support is, that motor is going to be WAY up there before you can get the pan off.

i have heard of people unbolting the trans, then motor mounts and jacking the motor up enough to get it out. just be careful.

[jonnydiesel]

well i guess i have to pull the motor

I recently pulled my motor to install a new oil pan. i was told it was the only practical way.

Had to put a pan gasket on my 95. Had to pull the trans/t-case because the clutch and flywheel would not clear the bellhousing. Pulled the turbo, downpipe, radiator, fan, fan shroud, a/c compressor, powersteering pump bracket, popped the fuel lines off. unbolted the mounts and had to raise it about a foot with a tractor with a front end loader. its gotta go waaaay up there cause the pan has to come down a ways from the engine to clear the oil pickup tube and the crossmember at the same time. Good luck

Ah ****, I was asking myself the same question. Was hoping I would be able to get it out with out lifting the engine. Don't have to tools for that.

well its an opportunity to clean the block, paint it, rebuild the oil cooler, check for corrosion, easily replace injectors or glows, etc. a list of 'might as well's' while you in there.

ill clean all the junk of the motor but its not getting painted. i only open the hood to work on it. im doing glow plugs but the injectors are way down the road.
