I had 2 friends helping so it went fairly quick,probably took us about 2 hours or so.I just used a floor jack handle and layed it across the top of the strut towers and put a chain around it and secured it to the engine to keep it up,then just worked the jack on the crossmember under the engine.Take out the motor mount bolts,sway bar,etc....all the stuff to be able to let you drop that crossmember down.I just got it loose enough where I could let the jack down on the crossmember to get enough to slide the pan out.A buddy was kinda directing me on what to do,I had never done it before and he had.I was just taking off what he said to take off,I dont really remember all what we loosened,We were in a bit of a hurry.Alternator came off also.I know this isnt alot of help,just going off what I remember.It doesnt have to drop much and it will slide right out though.
Well your totally right, I just got back from starting the car and nothing but drips, I waited 24 hrs for that rtv to sit and it didn't help me out at all. I appreciate the help, just need to figure out how to do this at my apartment complex

Dang I hate it you have to change the gasket out.Hopefully you will have help,it makes that job alot easier.I think the gasket ran around $50-$60 somewhere around that.Good luck with it though.Im dropping my cylinder head off tomorrow to get done,hopefully ill be up and running friday or saturday.
