Tips to remove upper oil pan in V8
The only thing holding me up from timing cover removal is upper oil pan.
All bolts are out and lower pan removed obviously. I plan to raise the engine 3 inches or so at some point to get clearance for the pan. Any tips?
Raise the engine now?
There is hardly any room, almost impossible from the sides. I think I will only have access to front and rear.
Is there a spot on the rear to pry a bit on it?
i suspect the V8 will be different than the V6 since the oil pan is completely different. Anyone here ever done a V8 upper pan without engine removed?
