removing oil pan

[eman2289]

I am looking for the thread about changing the oil pan gasket without having to pull the motor. I dont remember if it was here or the other forum, but i figured i would ask you guys first. I remember it having pictures in it, and talking about the room to work with, but now that i am looking for it, its no where to be found. If someone could provide me with the link that would be great. Thanks in advance.

Pull it Buddy. It'll take 3 hours tops.

lift the motor, or drop the cradle. or, pull the motor.

35* isn't cold. i've been fixing a BHG on my pickup in my driveway, which is in the shade slowly all week. it's not bad. double up on clothes. i'm in NY, by the way.

Tell your friend to quit being a pussy.

Regardless of the fact that the Search technique was clearly not used, there is no oil pan gasket according to toyota. The part number refers to using gasket-in-a-tube which is sold by toyota or any number of places. I would recommend The Right Stuff, available at most local parts stores.

If you use a cork gasket on this you will be doing it again in an amount of time that equates to soon.

How do u figure that?? Cause I did search here and on SF.

Uh, it took me all of 30 seconds to find that link I posted that CLEARLY explains WITH PICTURES how to drop the oil pan. You didn't search.

 

[eman2289]

I actually did. I dont want to make an argument about it, it pisses me off when people dont search, so I search before posting anything new. Maybe you just got lucky with the wording. Thanks for the link.

Dropping oilpan (first page fist two results)

 

[eman2289]

I just did your searches. I searched different terms. But no point in arguing over something stupid. Lock please.
