I have not pulled an oil pan on the model, however, most oil pans can be removed by removing the motor mount bolts and raising the engine up rather than pulling it, which is much less work.
how do I replace timming chain on my nissan np 300 ka 20 motor
umm if it was me i would just replace the motor that gasket is way to expensive to have replaced it costs like (10.00) so i would just replace the motor!!!!!
I have purchased a Chilton's manual, and it says that the motor has to be pulled in order for the oil pan gasket to be replaced. I am actually going to pick up an oil pan gasket for my 1997 Mountaineer 5.0l tomorrow. My husband will be doing most of the work, but the Chilton's manual says that the engine has to be completely removed from the vehicle. I have talked to a few other people who say you can just take off motor mounts and lift motor up about 4 inches, but I don't see how a person is going to be able to work around all the other parts. It would be a lot easier and less hassle really to just pull the motor to replace the oil pan gasket.
You can change a head gasket if that is all that is wrong.
yes you can replace the head gasket. you can on all engines. you just gotta take the head off
its about as bad as pulling the motor undo the mounts hoses wiring anything that will get to tight and raise motor up enough to remove the pan to replace gasket
if you have never done this before,i suggest you purchase a good manual for your car and follow the instructions.there is a long list of things that must be done in a certain order to remove/replace a head(s) and get it running again.
no it can be done in the van. best bet is to pick up a good manual and follow it word for word and you will be fine. you will have to tilt your motor forward to get to some of the bolts
you remove the oil pan, clean the gasket surfaces, install the new gasket and the oil pan.
If the motor will start and idle- let it warm up then carefully remove the radiator cap while the motor idles, if you see small bubbles coming to the surface in the radiator it is a blown head gasket. Replace gasket promptly it can do damage to the motor.
2.4, 4 cylinder or 3.0 ,6 cylinder.
To replace the thermostat on a 1988 535i, first locate the top radiator hose and remove the end connected to the motor. Take out the old thermostat and use gasket cleaner to remove the old gasket. Then replace the gasket and thermostat exactly as it was when it came out. Tighten up the radiator hose over the thermostat.
