To remove the oil pan, you'll need to lift the engine a little to clear the axle assembly..... then remove the head and push the piston out through the deck. By the time you do everything involved with that, you could probably pull the whole engine and install the one you rebuilt in your spare time..... and have a completely fresh engine. How would you feel if you did all the work and found out that you "fixed" the wrong rod? <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/barf.gif" alt="" />

Just a thought....
