Reply to "Can the oil pan be removed when the engine is in the chassis?"

fordismybossMember

UPDATE: removed the stock EBrake bracket, both hoses to/from the radiator and the starter, and the oil pan dropped out. Did not have to remove the engine. Did not have to cut out the factory cross chassis brace. Did not have to jack the engine. Did not have to rotate the crank and the counter balance was in the way, but she still cleared.

Upon inspection, the crank counter balance was nicking the rear baffle edge by a very slight amount. That is what was making the noise. Beautiful, clean, four bolt CJ engine with factory serialized con rods. Wow!

Now I need a new oil pan. Any out there?

Thanks to all for your help on this one.
