oil pan
im asking because im not currently AT my car and cannot look under it to see and wont be for a while, but...
is it possible to get the oil pan off of a 85 gsl-se without pulling the engine? i looked under it last night (without the jack stands under it) and it looked to be a very very tight fit... i have a leaking gasket i need to repair but dont want to have to pull the entire engine for this... is this possible? |
yes it is possible. you must remove one side of your idler arm which is bolted by 2 14mm bolts.
heres an animation https://www.rx7club.com/showthread.p...hlight=oil+pan on that page... good luck with that. |
thanks!!

Yes, but there is one bolt on the pan that you will need to use a combination wrench on as a socket will not fit in between the cross member and pan.
Like boyee, said, just un-bolt the idler arm from the frame. I just did my pan, and no more leaks. FYI when you do the pan seal it is a good idea to replace the rubber O-ring on the oil level sensor. (the one with three 10 mm bolts on the side of the pan). Adam |
