how difficult is it to remove the oil pan???

[sleighty]

what is the process of removing the oil pan on a 95 motor in a 92 shell....

[kahoots240]

If it has 92 chassis you should be able to raise the motor enoughto remove it.

[sleighty]

yes it is from the s13... "the chassis"

[sleighty]

when you said raise the motor what exactly do you mean??? just push it up or remove the mounts what ???????

Unbolt the mounts and either find some place other than the oil pan to jack it up, or use an engine hoist to lift it up. Its either that or drop the front crossmember to get enough clearance to remove the oil pan

removing the oil pan is an incredible pain in the ***. Unbolt the motor mounts, take off your strut bar if you have one, and take off your sway bar. Put a jack under the bellhousing of the transmission and jack the motor as far out of the engine bay as possible. Unbolt the oil pan, break the seal with a razor blade or butter knife, and drop it down. If you can wiggle it out then, great. If not, you'll have to reach in and take off the oil pickup, and let it drop into the oil pan. Then you should be able to wiggle the pan out...kind of a forward and down movement. Unless it's leaking really, really bad, or you're doing it to check out bearings...I almost wouldn't bother.

Edit: Almost forgot, a gasket DOES exist for the oil pan, contrary to popular belief. Napa sells it for like $6. You can also use high-temp rtv.
