Ok i've started the remove the oil pan, and there is a motor mount, that is connected to the oil pan, and as i was removing the bolts to the mount i forgot to grab something to keep it in place, sooo now i can't get my bolts back in the designated holes, soooo can i drive my car without the bolts there in the mount or is it not recommended?

 

no you need that mount theres only 2 for the motor. i'm bout to redo my pan also . the best thing to do is use a jack and lift the motor a lil at a time til you can get the bolts back in just dont dent the pan while your raising it

 

All you need to do is just lift the engine up a little and loosly bolt in the aluminium mount to the oil pan. Then let the engine down over the rubber mount and tighten the bolts.

 

man im glad i read this cause im goin to get started on that same project on my 86 hope its not too hard

 

boy do i feel stupid, when i removed mine i took off the mounts and dropped that huge piece the mounts are bolted to, which was a royal pain in itself to remove.

 

are you asking if you can drive your car with only one engine mount?

 

boy i hope not.....
i remmeber doing this...the only part that sucked was the bolts on the oil pan near the front of the car....ratchet wrenches are your friend BTW.
