Oil Pan
To Replace the oil pan what do you have to do exactly .. i have a 3.4 M5 and my friend who is suppose to do it says it will take longer than a week to do .. he said he has to drop the front end suspension? Why ? Who knows exactly what you have to do? it doesn't have to be in detail just sumthing i could work off

clearance = gap
I said you have to lift the engine... so to make a Gap, so you have Room to pull the oil pan off.

Re: Oil Pan
yes, clearance. k-member sits really close to the pan and you need to lift the engine to create more space. yes, clearance.Comment

Re: Oil Pan
you coudl drop the front suspension and kmember to do it, but from the looks of it, its just easier ot lift the motor.Comment

Re: Oil Pan
hey i just put my pan on, lift the motor then as you drop the pan you have to turn it as it is falling. turng counter clock wise. once you get the pan past the cross member, turn it stright and tilt the right side up. that will clear the oil pick up tube.Comment

Re: Oil Pan
Anyone ever try using HT sealant around the pan to stop any gasket leaks, instead of replacing the gasket?Robert - owner www.FirebirdV6.com/CamaroV6.com
