does anyone know the easiest way to take the oil pan off? i tried the propane torch trick but that didnt work for me either. any help would be useful. this is my last thing i need to finish my turbo install and my car is on jacks. thanks for the input!

 

i've done a few different turbokit installs, and have found that the beveled edge of the tire iron for your spare works better than anything.

 

i used a paint scrapper and a hammer.. took like 4 mins! i was surprised!

 

alright im gonna try both of those tonight ideas. thanks you guys. any other ideas? i was under the car forever trying to get that bull____tttttt off. lol

 

Just be careful not to scratch the bottom of your engine block - where the engine mates to the pan. You want to make sure that's as smooth as possible.

You should use a heatgun if you have one available - it'll soften up the RTV.

 

best way that i found was to take off your front bumper and oil filter. get a decent length pry bar with the angle on the tip. come in under your headlight and through where the oil filter used to be. on the oil pan you will see a little notch right there. put the pry bar there and hit the end of it with a hammer till you feel it make it all the way through. then just pry to break the seal and with a littler bar work your way around it. it took me all of about 30 seconds to get the pan off when i figured this out

 

what do u seal it back with?

 

Me and my buddy took off my pan in about 2 mintues using razor blades.

Looking at the pan, from the front of the car. We hammered 1 blade bwetween the pan and the block. Once it was all the way in, we hammered another one right on top of it. After 6 blades, the pan falls off

Seal it up with some RTV silicone gasket maker, and you should be good.

 

after trying everything we finally got the damn thing off! yeah we used this red sealant and it works perfectly fine now. thanks everyone for the help
