Oil pan gasket change "fun"
I'm in the finishing stages of my pan gasket change. 2 of the next projects will be the front and rear seal. But it's gonna have to wait awhile. I'm tired of working on this thing for a while. I just want to drive it.
Anyhow I done this job on an E350. I thought it was a pain, but this beat it by far. Dual cats, one on each side of the cross member. Can anyone say "stupid".
At first I tried without removing air plenum. However I did not think thee gone was high enough so I lowered it back down and removed it. After said and done I think I could have done it with the plenum on. Although I wished the engine could have been a couple inches higher. Oh well!
The exhaust was way more difficult on the truck over the van.
Does any wish the freaking pump drive rod would stay in place? Well the van still runs hopefully the truck will to. Not really any way to see if it the rod is in right and you sure as heck can't see.
Well back to work I go!
