I'm needing to know if I can remove my oil pan off my 1990 F-250 460 without raising the engine from the frame, or in other words do I have enough clearance to remove the pan without excess stunt wrenching.
Any info would be appreciated.
I want to change oil pan gasket and rear main seal

 

NO. the engine has to be lifted out of the mounts AND the oil pump must be removed. Also the Y-pipe must be removed and the trans. Just pull the engine out, it will be SO much easier

 

Okay...thank you for that. I had a feeling it would be a real job, see what else I should do while it's out of there.
Kinda thinking a hot rod crate motor now

 

I did 2 oil pans.. It takes 7 hours labor total to do oil pan and pump.. Pull the motor in 2.5 hours.. Makes more sense

 

Is that advice also the same for a 93 F250 4x4 5.8l?

Thanks,

 

You can do it in a 5.8 in the truck, but it is a HELL of alot easier out of the truck

 

Same advice for 5.8... 7 hours on your back
