While replaceing the chain I went ahead and replace the oil pump. Having a problem getting the pan to drop after removing the bolts. Is there a trick to dropping the pan? Or is my proble that there is oil still in the pan? Any help would be appreciated.

 

did u take out the two bottom tranny bolts too? its usually on there pretty good so you'll need a screwdriver to start to pry it.

 

make sure you got all the bolts out, if i recall, mine droopped fairly easy once i got those 2 tranny bolts out

 

Did you mean the two that are right at the end of the pan across fro meach other? I get the loose but still nothing.. I see where you could put a screw driver in the slotted whole but didn't want to pry too hard, I might break the screwdriver, but I will give it a shot when I get home.

 

Im not sure if they're right at the end, but in the very back of the pan where it meets the tranny. The bottom two are the ones you need to take out. Also, the one by the oil filter and the two long ones. Make sure you've got everyone of them. Some are hard to see.

 

i think www.ls1howto.com has an article under cam swap that show where all the bolt are, and how many there are..that might help, i would pull it up for ya, but im at work....not much time inbetween calls.
