tunerlover3 Posted August 24, 2009 Report Posted August 24, 2009 I think you gotta lower the K member a little.....its not exactly easy. Quote
White93z34 Posted August 24, 2009 Report Posted August 24, 2009 gona be a pain in the ass, subframe has to be dropped down to gain access. Quote
kuntzie Posted August 24, 2009 Report Posted August 24, 2009 Remove the motor mount on the passenger side, to do thus u gotta remove the 3 bolts holding the a/c compressor in. The mount is held in with 5 bolts on the block and 2 on the subframe.. Use a cherry picker and lift up the engine on the most passenger side. This will allow for enough cleance to do this fairly easily... Oh ya, disconnect the battery and remove the starter.. If u don't have a cherry picker, use a 2x4 anda Jack and Jack up of the exhaust manifold... Put a few pieces of 2x4s under the haromic balancer to keep it lifted. This can be done in like 2 hours or less Quote
Andrew Posted August 25, 2009 Report Posted August 25, 2009 they are a really good re-usable gasket. you might just try snuggin the bolts up a bit first. Quote

Q-Ball Posted August 26, 2009 Report Posted August 26, 2009 they are a really good re-usable gasket. you might just try snuggin the bolts up a bit first. I never even thought of that! I will give that a try too. Quote
Drummer Posted September 5, 2009 Author Report Posted September 5, 2009 ok well i tried tightening the one sise up and the bolts just keep turning anf turning and turning. Which would be more likely stripping the bolt or block? I'm only thinking this cause the bolts have pretty much all the same tension and it doesn't get greater or lesser. Quote
Andrew Posted September 5, 2009 Report Posted September 5, 2009 impossible to say. pull the bolt out to see. the pan wont leak missing just one bolt. Quote
Drummer Posted September 5, 2009 Author Report Posted September 5, 2009 well thats what i didn't want to see, the bolt broke off when i tried loosening it so i guess all the other bolts are on their way but there's only one way to find out sooo next oil change is gonna be a pain Quote
