You will more then likely have to pull the engine OUT to do that.
about $600. Std. labor estimate is 5.47 hours to lift engine, replace gasket, replace engine and realign steering.
Without pulling the motor completely out, remove mount bolts, loosen y-pipe, remove starter, lift engine with a hoist and work from there..and trust me USE RTV SILICONE!!
It is recommended that the engine be pulled out of the vehicle due to the engine crossmember being in the way. It is possible to install the oil pan gasket if you lift the engine a few inches and have real small hands do the work. Good Luck.
you remove the oil pan, clean the gasket surfaces, install the new gasket and the oil pan.
you must first, lift the engine from underneath, then you are able to uncrew the bolts. then slide the pan forward to get it out. this is the only way
lift the engine
just remove the 3 bolts on top of the valve cover and lift it out,and theres the gasket.
the easiest way to change the spark plugs on either side of hte engine is to either put it up on a car lift or pull it up onto some ramps but i recommend using a lift
remove radiator assembly/ disconnect all bolts/ lift it from top
Pull or lift the engine, drop the pan then replace the oil pump. Pull or lift the engine, drop the pan then replace the oil pump.
You'll need to disconnect the motor mounts, probably pull the radiator hoses then jack the engine up. It would be best to use an engine lift from the top. You'll need to lift the engine 4 to 6 inches so that you can pull the old pan and replace the new one. Make sure you use gasket sealer on the replacment pan to hold the new gasket into place. Use an adhesive gasket material that will hold it in place while you position the pan.
Jack up the motor and replace them. Center of the motor on the sides. Use a block of wood on a floor jack and lift on the oil pan,
