[Chevelle-list] Oil pan removal

[Dale]

Doubt it.  First thing my Chilton's manual says is 'remove engine from car'.
I'm sure someone's done it by removing driveshaft, removing transmission
cross member, turning engine to a specific cylinder to align the crank (like
the balancer mark at 6:00), jack the engine up 6-8 inches or so.  Might just
as well pull the engine.

 

Don't mean to sound flippant but have you tried another gauge?  Maybe a
0-100 lb just to see?

Not sure on a small block but on a big block you need to pull the motor to
take off the pan.

Can the oil pan be pulled on a '66 Malibu with just raising the front of the
engine? I need to change the high volume oil pump. It's sending the needle
off the gage.

Thanks
