Taking off oil pan?
Re: Taking off oil pan? Well I did it. It really wasn't too bad. YOu need to take off the AC compressor and Alt to get the motor mount bolts out. After you do that you need to jack up the engine a little bit. I just used a block of wood and jacked up on the bellhousing. Then you need to take the back 2 bolts out of each side of the K-member. Then just pull down on the back of the K-member and the oil pan comes right out.

Verdad Gallardo Re: Taking off oil pan? I received a stock longblock from ARE which had to be shipped to me. I put the engine in without looking at the bottom of the oil pan and it turned out to be badly cracked. It would only leak oil when the car was running so I never noticed till I actually got the car running. I'm glad that the oil pans are cheap(thanks valvegod). I know it was stupid to put it in without looking at the oil pan so don't tell me that, I already know.
