I have to raise the engine to get back to take off my oil pan. I was wanting to know if I could jack up the egine a litte and raise it up just to give me the little extra room i need to get it off?

Re: Raising Engine
sure, pop the hood, take the weight off the engine mounts, take the bolts out and you can raise it up some. I would think the trans is going to hit the tunnel before the intake hits the cowl but i'm not entirely sure. I'd be more worried about getting it up enough to make the pan clear the crankshaft.-Brad

what is the best way to give me enough room to get to the crankshaft through the oil pan? Raise the engine through the top enough to fix some little fingers in or what?Comment

Re: Raising Engine
that I don't know, but I do know people here have changed their oil pan gasket maybe that is the right question to ask? I'd be interested to know also becasue I know I have some oil leaks and it would be nice to know if that was something I could do myself without pulling the engine.-Brad

Building the Tom Henry RS
Part 4: Suspension Mods, Tires, Wheels, Headers and other Cool Stuff.
By: Hib Halverson
At the end of Part Three, we changed the valvetrain of the 3.8-liter V6 in the Tom Henry RS. We installed new, Yella Terra "Ultralite" 1.8:1, aluminum roller rocker arms, Katech valve springs and Katech titanium retainers on our 3800 Series II V6.
Ultralites are nearly 25% lighter than the stock 1.6 rockers and 8% lighter than the SLP aluminum...02-07-2020, 10:30 PM
