Prying off LS1 oil pan...HOW?!?
#5
+1 on the two long bolts on the back of the pan, i think they go through the trans aswell. I didnt know this and i just bent my pan down to get the oil pump bolt off, im lucky it didnt break.

there is not much room with the kmember even if all the bolts are off . remove the bolts in the engine mounts . take a jack with a block of wood and place it where the balancer goes and slowly jack it up some . also if the intake is on it may get in the way . just make sure you are very careful .
this should give you enough room to do what you need . i was able to get the number 8 lifters off a car using this method . they were on top of the windage tray which is above the oil pan and still there is not much room .

the pan should just fall off once bolts are removed. if clearance is an issue i just unbolted the cradle and lowered it down about 5 or 6 inches and it came right off. i wouldnt pry on anything very much if at all. those pans WILL break

well i work at a shop so i used engine support j-tool that sits above the engine. (not helpful sorry) a screw jack or jack stand under the balancer would work, just pat attention to whats goin on to be sure nothing is being damaged. those gaskets are metal and tough rubber. they should not have to be replaced every time removed. that is unless you are leaking.

My other question was rod bolts. Some people say if the pans off just change them, some people say you cant change them without doing the whole rod.... whats the truth being this?
And btw sorry to the OP for hijacking your thread lol... hope you found this useful
