What were the Chevy Engineers Thinking..??? - 08/28/22 12:20 AM
I can't believe that the oil pan won't come off....... 1934 Master town sedan.... I dropped the tie rod & moved it out of the way..... undid all the screws & the two bolts in the rear....... the pan dropped loose from the block about one inch.. so it is free...... BUT, it will not drop down past the front cross member, when pushed back as far as it can go, in the rear, up against the transmission cross member...... the front lip of the pan does not clear the Front cross member... I just need 1/4" more clearance to drop the front of the pan, down past the cross member......
Does this mean I Must drop the transmission cross member to be able to move the back of the pan back another 1/2".... so the front of the pan will clear..??????? I sure hope not... what a Hassle, just to drop an oil pan.....
...... What were the Engineers thinking...???
If I have to drop the transmission cross member... that means I have to disconnect and drop the rods that hook to the front brake cables.... Because they are right up against the cross member... not allowing it to drop.... What a poor design.... just to drop an oil pan.....
COULD THIS ACTUALLY BE TRUE....??? THAT I HAVE TO DISCONNECT ALL OF THESE THINGS to get the pan off...??? HELP..!!!
