oil pan drop

[Drake57]

I searched but so far have not seen any procedure for dropping the oil pan. I think it involves supporting the engine from above, dropping the sway bar/cross member/rack&pinion/lower suspension, then unbolting and dropping the pan.

I've looked, and seen what looks like a lifting loop on the passenger bank, toward the rear of the engine, and no loop on the driver side. Can anyone say how to attach to and suspend the engine?

I have an engine lift, but I'd prefer to make a stand that will sit on the car body between the upper mcpherson strut mounts and fender bolts - the engine lift will get in the way underneath the engine.

Lastly, are pan gaskets available? If so I'd like to use a gasket rather than rtv.

Read Tangalora's excellent pan drop thread in IOM.

Joe and his crew will know, so call them.

and how do you get to the tread?

and how do you get to the tread?

When viewing the car from the front or the rear, the tread is the part that comes in contact with the road when the wheel revolves about its axle. So either roll the car or dismount the wheel.
