Oil pan gasket
« on: April 04, 2026, 08:20:52 PM »
How difficult is it to replace the oil pan gasket? Does the engine has to be lifted to get it out?

The sump pan gasket can be done in situ.

The engine has to be lifted/jacked up, and the subframe must be lowered.
This is to clear the oil pick-up assembly.

Not a simple job, but doable. Done this twice on 2 different HPE's for the same
reason, big end bearings.

It’s not leaking so I think I’ll leave it alone. Wanted to change the oil and possibly clean and repaint the cover.
Thanks
