If you are talking about cleaning the inside of the oil pan, my question is why are you doing this? Unless you are doing a repair, this is not necessary. But, saying that, the only way to know is to remove the bolts and find out. You may need to remove a cross member or disconnect an engine mount and jack up the engine, but it is unlikely you will have to remove the engine. Other than jacking the vehicle up for better access, you can drop the oil pan without removing a cross member. I did it to change my oil pump filter, and it took me about an hour and half to do it.

How do you start marine diesel engine that has been sitting for a long time?

I don't know since I have the same issue that I am working on. Will attempt a start this afternoon. My Volvo 2002 has not been started for 12 years and I went thru a process of determining what should be done. This is what I've done: - Pulled tank and cleaned all the gunk out of it. Reinstalled and put new fuel in. - Replace all filters as well as the water impeller. (make sure you fill filters with fuel) - Fresh oil - clean and oil air filter (engine needs clean air, fuel) Will crank engine with engine stop pulled and with decompression level on. Wish me luck!

Using 8mm socket or wrench disconnect negative battery terminal first and then positive terminal. Then unbolt battery hold down located on side of battery near engine. Pull off plastic battery cover then remove battery. Clean battery terminals with wire brush. If bolts are corroded replace them. Replace battery, battery cover and hold down. Then put positive terminal on and then negative.
