How difficult is it to replace a oil pan gasket? What process should I have to get through to accomplish this feat.

another AF puke hu? [img]tongue.gif[/img]
Usually you put the car on stands, get a jack & wood block on the crank pulley & raise motor enogh to clear crossmember & caps. Unbolt, remove pan & gasket & replace. Haven't seen a Haynes.Chilton book for those new fangled rides, but should be relatively the same.1978 Formula 461 in progress of being built :rock:

yeah it's more time consuming than tough really
you are essentially gonna unbolt the motor from the mounts, raise the motor enough to get the pan off replace the gasket put the pan back on then lower the motor and bolt it back to the motor mounts on the cross member.. like I said not necessarily hard but time consuming..-Brad

Cool...
Yeah another AF puke here. :D
I'm going to be using the base shop where they have lifts. Will the lift help me any as far as time goes?<i>00\' NBM Firebird~T-5<br />60\': <b>2.29 sec.</b><br />1/4: <b>14.7 @ 95.5 MPH<br />Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for me.</b></i>Comment

it if it doesn't help save time it will save headache, yeah it should help save time though.. just a quick note, make sure you drain the oil first.. I know sometimes I jump into a project like that and forget the little stuff.. :D-Brad
