Re: 1936 120 engine pan removal

You can remove the pan. It's a bit of a pain, but possible.

First thing - if your front motor mount is saggy, you will need to lift up the front of the engine.

The front most counterweight needs to be horizontal.

I took mine off (1937 120) by removing all the bolts, then letting it drop where I could see the crank, then turning it until that forward counterweight was clear.

Bit of a pain, but doable.

One other thing - while you've got the car apart, I highly recommend checking out the bearings on your center steering link. They are bicycle style bearings, and tend to be completely shot. See my blog for details on how to do it.

Good luck, and welcome aboard!
