[Chevelle-list] Oil pan removal

2007-03-29 Thread Malibu
Can the oil pan be pulled on a '66 Malibu with just raising the front of the engine? I need to change the high volume oil pump. It's sending the needle off the gage. Thanks

Doubt it. First thing my Chilton's manual says is 'remove engine from car'. I'm sure someone's done it by removing driveshaft, removing transmission cross member, turning engine to a specific cylinder to align the crank (like the balancer mark at 6:00), jack the engine up 6-8 inches or so. Might

If you are sure you are going to pull the pan, you can always jack up the car and try it to see how close you come to getting it off. If you can't do it, then worst case you get a cherry picker and raise or pull the engine. I think it is possible, but I have never tried it in a Chevelle. I think

John- Depending on how big you’ve gone on your cam it can help considerably. Advancing your initial timing will also create more vacuum and make your carb more responsive. Time it by ear and see if it doesn’t end up a few degrees more than stock. I wouldn’t be surprised to see 12-14 degrees ini
