oil pan hung up 6 cyl. 200
Hello everyone.
I am new to this site and still trying to navigate around. I have a 67 coupe with a straight 6 200. I am changing a leaky oil pan gasket in it for the first time (just bought her 5 mths. ago) I have refered to a Chilton repair manual that tells me to remove the sway bar and the pan will drop out. WRONG, I now find that the pan gets caught up between the crank shaft pulley and a cross member that is welded on. Is this cross member original or something that was put on after. Do I need to lift the motor a bit or cut the weld on the cross member and then bolt it back on for future work. Anyone else run into this at some point or familiar with it? Any help is appreciated.
