Another challenge question...

So how many years was it I asked to be stumped?

I got stupid responses like who won the 1953 world series? Well my Grandapa is dead but I'm sure he knew.

Any real world questions about Gen 1 Explorers? Bring it on!

Is there an easy way to access the oil pump/remove the bottom pan on a 92 4.0 OHV engine

Actually - that is a good question. Apparently the Ford dealer changed my pan gasket out 2 different times under warranty for leaks. I can not believe they pulled the motor to do this since both times it was in and out the same day. Maybe some suspension components need to be dropped...but I would think you can pull the pan with the motor in place.

Either way, I would first change out my O2 sensors before I did anything else....

The purpose is to shake out those "well I think it's a stupid question so I wont ask" questions.

Something like, there's a oil leak somewhere...looks like the oil filter...but I change the fliter, new gasket...still leaks, any ideas?

Maybe 10 other guys out there have the same issue but didn't think twice about it. Might be as simple as new o-rings on the oil filter adapter...which is hard to see and behind the exhaust manifold.

Oil pan removal is a good question. I also want to know how to remove it with the engine still in place. So if anyone knows...pipe up!

With comments like this you are not going to get any of those shy contributors.

27 yrs in LAW enforcement and 3 as a CORONER, I have thick skin, so your comments didnt bother me.

MRSKI, Just so there is no doubt, I have seen brighter stars in the morgue.
