Re: Oil pan gasket is bad, but I can't drop the oil pan, need a more 'creative' solution
by Cougar20th
Ive done a pan gasket one a 90's ford van the real hard way. had the 6 in it. But anyway what I did was drop the pan some. cut & remove the old gasket or however it came off. Keep as much junk out of the pan as possible. Then I put the new gasket in and fished it around the oil pick up . got it to where it needed to be cleaned it, worked my way around using the pan bolts one by one to losely hold the gasket in place. and put it and the pan back up. It wasnt fun and I dont know if it lasted since the company got rid of that van a week or two later.
