Do any know anything about it? I read that you have to lift the motor is there any other way? I dont have a lift. IS there anythere anything I have to remove before I do it that will make it easier?

Body Damage is Cool
IF ALL YOU ARE DOING IS REPLACING THE PAN GASKET, REMOVE ALL THE OIL PAN BOLTS AND LET THE PAN DROP DOWN ON THE CROSS MEMBER AND REMOVE THE OLD GASKET ,THE PAN WILL DROP ABOUT 2 INCHES, NOW TAKE THE NEW GASKET WHICH IS ONE PIECE AND GO OVER THE OUTSIDE OF THE PAN FROM THE BOTTOM ,IT WILL STRETCH ENOUGH TO CLEAR THE PAN AND GET IN THE CORRECT SPOT, BOLT IT BACK UP , USE A LITTLE BIT OF RTV IN THE CORNERS AND DONT GET THE BOLTS TOO TIGHT, 8-10 FT LBS IS ALL THEY TAKE OR YOU WILL CRUSH THE GASKET, THIS IS FOR USING A FACTORY GASKET , DONT KNOW IF AN AFTERMARKET GASKET WILL GIVE THIS MUCH BUT SHOULD , JERRY
