Re: Oil Pan Removal On Car

THANKS for the suggestions and especially the video!!! The video was especially helpful. I can tell we think alike.

I R&R the oil pan today and verified that the crankshaft counterweights were indeed hitting the oil pan. The engine runs quiet now without the BONG BONG BONG sound!!!

The smell of a new engine is always nice!!!

The front of the oil pan was indeed pushed up ever so slightly (I did not notice it prior) I guess this must have happened when I drove it home and it was riding on a deflated tire (no steel rim).

Lowering the pan was not too tough...needed to lower the center link, I already had the clutch inspection cover removed, and move the #1 piston to half way up in its bore so that the crank counterweight is out of the way. Packard was kind enough to insert holes in the chassis and these holes were strategically located to where a 1/4 inch drive ratchet could be inserted in the hole and get access to the forward oil pan bolts. I used a remote starter switch to tap (click) the crank to the exact position.

Attached are pictures of the issue in case anyone else has this issue.

THANKS AGAIN,

Bill
