that sounds like a PITA, but I may give that a shot if plans A and B fail. I'm hoping that since I'm putting in a new oil pump I can just slide the pan in with the pump in the pan, then bolt up the pump while the pans just dangling there

The only shitty part about the pump is the rod that drives the pump is hard to keep in place. when you dont have that much room.

na, did it myself

You know what i think would make easy would be to suport the motor and drop the subframe. you could do it with a jack on the back of the tranns

[Nic01101011]

Its a pain in the ass. you have anyone that helped you?

I tried taking the pan off the other car by jacking the engine up from the front of the transmission, but ended up just taking off the pump

the pump on the car its going onto has been completely torn off, so I think Ill try to see if I can do it without lifting the engine at all

It depends if it rains or not I don't have the lock strip on the fromt window so it leaks

2 of the bolts on the bellhousing cover are in awkward positions so I wasnt able to get them loose. I sprayed them with liquid wrench and will let it sit overnight, hopefully that will do the trick. Im working with limited tools in a very inconvenient spot, so its more of a bitch than it should be.

you gonna lift the motor to put the other one on

[Alkasquawlik]

what are you stuck at?
