Do you have windage tray? If you don't I wouldn't sweat it. It will proably just ride around inthe sump. I have a motor with a broken dipstick riding around in it if it makes you fell better v79 malibu that hopefully makes it for 3000 miles
Made it with no breakdowns, missing 2012

I don't think you need to take the motor all the way out,just tilt it up and pull. But if it's in the pan,the pump won't be able to pick it up and it will just go on the tour with you..Pull the motor in the winter..I just love my Hot Rods.

With your new lift, you can raise the car a bit, get your engine hoist/leveler on it, disconnect the engine mounts and tranny mount, tilt the engine/tranny just high enough to get the pan off and back on. Needless to say, other stuff will have to be loosened, but I don't think you'll have to completely remove the engine. Don't forget to plug the back of the transmission after you remove the driveshaft...........
Once it's bolted back up, I'd replace that head gasket.Last edited by oletrux4evr; May 23, 2011, 03:43 PM.Ed, Mary, & 'Earl'

This sounds like a BS poll Bob. You know what you have to do, now just do it. You have enough time. Remember, denial is not a river in EgyptDonna

oil pan in the car project
much more difficult than u guys are letting on
I will adjust valves, change oil, change plugs,
and start engine, if it doesnt come apart
i will use K&W stop leak on head gasket leak
will take for test drive and beat it
if it survives it goes on HRPT 11
Or i may go and buy a Dodge Challenger, Ford Mustrang/Chevolet Camaro and drive with a warrenty
or drive the WIFES CAR with a 100 NOS Shot

PS: if i didn't need to work each day, sleep and wasnt 66 years old
this would be done all ready
i miss U FREAKS
boob
i did find a perfect 67 Nova 4 door, 6 auto for $1500, that could make the tour
