Oil pan gasket
Can you change the oil pan gasket without removing the motor I thought I saw somewhere cannot or it’s very difficult to get the oil pick up unit back in unless the motor is upside down?? Thanks in advance for your infinite wisdom the bills me out more times than not.

Re: Oil pan gasket
Yes you can, but obviously, it’s much easier out of the car. Check out the Santa Anna As website for a very informative article from the Restorer, on a leakless pan gasket install. Or just google Model a leakless pan gasket installation. It will come up from several sources.

Re: Oil pan gasket
Helps if you can raise the car up a bit. I use the ramps. Plus it helps if you have a comfortable creeper. Also helps if you enjoy getting oil in your face and hair.

Re: Oil pan gasket
The Brattons oil pan "snap" studs look to be the "ticket". In years past I would secure gaskets in place by tying off at several of the bolt holes with common cotton sewing thread. Holds the gasket in place until bolts go home. Thread just stays there for ever, no harm.

Re: Oil pan gasket
It been a while since I have done it, but I like 700rpm's method. I have used the snap-up clips and they are a big help. I held the pump up with a loop of bailing wire. When the pan is in place, but with a 1/8 inch gap, I slip the wire out.
Good luck, Ken

Re: Oil pan gasket
That how I do it, but I have some headless threaded rod and nuts to hold the pan up. Cut slits in the top of the rod in case you need to use a screw driver to remove.
