Oil Pan Gasket Writeup
ok ok ok,
I know alot of you guys are going to tell me to do a search, but i have and i couldnt find anything. I found countless threads on oil leaks, oil pan gasket help etc...
I'm looking for a write up or something along those lines so that I can do this !
I know the K member needs to be lowered in order to make the job easier, but I would like to know the ins and outs of everything else along the way.
any threads, or links would be greatly appreciated

Why not get a repair manual for $25 and not rely on everyones "different" methods. Any way dont have a write up, but did mine less than a month ago. Place jack under K member, Remove starter, remove alternator, remove engine mount through bolt, jack up the engine with a hoist or other method, you only need 3 inches, remove bottome shock bolt on both sides, then remove 6 K member bolts, lower jack until you have enough room to get the pan out. You have to drill the 2 rivets out of the pan to get the old gasket out. SHoudl take you about 6 hours (non stop work)
Probably forgetting something, but its not as hard as it may seem. Hope this helps, a little.

thanks for the information...I was not going to rely solely on " opinions "
i was looking for a writeup just like other services have on here....
....i will relay the info back to my buddy, who will be helping me. we will have the car @ a dealer on a rack...hopefully that will shave some time off the install..
i have read about proper alignment of the gasket, how did you make sure it was aligned properly ??

he is doing a rod bolt swap, but you do the same method to get the pan off just not going as far as to change rod bolts.
