1950 H226 oil pan removal
Has anyone dropped the oil pan on a 1950 ford car with the engine in the car? Engine is 226 flathead 6.
Wondering if it will clear the front cross member.. Thanks, Steve |

Re: 1950 H226 oil pan removal
I have a significant amount of oil leaking from the bell housing. I suspect the rear main rope seal may be the culprit. Part of the front cross member had at one time been cut away to fit a large V8, so there is extra room. Just did not know if the pan would clear the crank journals.

If it's anything like a V8, it helps a lot if the crankshaft is turned so the counterweights on the front are up.
