Re: Oil pan
The oil pan can be removed while the engine is in the car.
As a youngster I did a lot of engine work on '54-'57 Fords. Rings, rod bearings & cam changes without removing the engine. |

Re: Oil pan
Rotate the crank so that the front throw is up out of the way, then you can noodle it out.

Re: Oil pan
In a Y block, the crankshaft is always up out of the way. In a flathead, the above is true.

Re: Oil pan
I read on a 57 you need to set the crank to #1 on TDC. Maybe will work fine for a 56.

Re: Oil pan
Won't work on a 57 but it will on a 56. I've owned both.

Re: Oil pan
Hmm, I found the article on y-blocksforever that talked about replacing a rear main seal that involved removing the oil pan and the subject was a 57.
http://www.y-blocksforever.com/tech/...emainseal.html Since you owned both, I can't knock that but why would they keep something that's wrong in their articles section.

Re: Oil pan
It's been many years since I worked on these engines on a regular basis, but for the sake of moving on, here goes. Contrary to what the general consensus is, all the y-block chassis were not the same, regardless of the engine being the same. First, ALL OF THEM REQUIRED ROTATING THE CRANKSHAFT to some degree or other. SOME required removing the starter. SOME required raising the engine slightly. And SOME required removing the sway bar.
As far as printed material being the sacred gospel truth, think again. And as for getting info from the internet, believe very little of it, as much of it is hearsay or "rumored" to be factual. I can't believe how some of this stuff just drags on and on and here I am getting sucked into the middle of it. When will I learn? |

Re: Oil pan
Most of us agree the pan can be removed with the engine in the car.
Like Packrat said, use your head, think it out--it's NOT a big deal. |

Re: Oil pan
I helped someone do the pan on a '58 with a 312 or 292 years back. It can be done.

Re: Oil pan
I should have added the car has power steering would that create extra problems?

Re: Oil pan
Lenny, Lenny, Lenny, have you not been paying attention? Crawl under the car and look. Figure it out. And PLEASE don't ask what kind of tools you will need next.

Re: Oil pan
I did not realize that was a stupid question for the experts on this Forum.

Re: Oil pan
It's not about a short fuse, it's about a short patience tolerance. There is no animosity intended. Need I apologize again?
