You have to get the oil pan off, and the K-member if its still stock. If you have a tubular K-member, you might be able to work around it.

Does the engine have to be lifted or anything like that. Do i need any special tools to re-line the oil pan so that it doesnt leak

I did mine while I was installing a tubualr K-member so I already had an engine hoist holding the engine up. I did not need any special tools to reinstall the oil pan.

ARP told me that you need to hone the big end when you install their bolts.

WTF?
