Hey,
Aight heres my problem... few weeks ago my oil pan was leaking... so i unscrewed it all all that good stuff.... and put new gasket in it with it hanging just like 1 inch away from motor... so i was putting it back on
and the 2 back parts of it broke right off.... so now i need to fully change my oil pan... i have no clue how tho.... I unbolted the bolts on the motor mount with the bushing all the way.... and used a hoist to make the motor up higher but still cant get it....i can almost get the oil pan out but i need the motor to go atleast 2-4 more inches higher... anyone got any sugestion or something i can do to make it easier.... remebre im only working under like 2 feet of space... so its hard to do certain stuff

Thanks.. Will

If you have one of those crappy pressed trash aluminum ones just take a hammer to it. Sounds like you do if you broke two parts of it off already.
