Need help taking pan off
[updated:LAST EDITED ON 16-Nov-02 AT 06:55 PM (EST)]Engine is jacked up two inches and pan won't come off.
What am I doing wrong? Eveything is cleared below the pan.
It's hitting something inside about one inch back.
This is a 460, 89 F250, 4x4.

Sounds like you are hitting the oil pickup. Theres two hex head screws holding the pickup to the oil pump and a bracket holding the tail of the pickup to one of the bearing blocks(#3?). Remove the two screws plus the bolt holding the bracket in place and you should have enough play in the pu to wiggle it free of the pump.
