2.3l Oil Pan Replacement
2001 Ford Ranger XL 2.3l (DOHC) RWD
Im trying to Replace my oil pan, Chilton says I have to remove the engine. It looks totally possible if I jack the engine up a little bit.
However I cant really find a set of steps to follow. Im not sure about a gasket or if this is at all possible without engine removal.
Can I do it without engine removal?
Do I Need a garket?
Is there a how-to/guide/video?
Is there something else I should definitely do once I have the oil pan off?
Thank you in advance!!!!

The problem is that you can't raise the engine enough to lower the oil pan down enough to clear the oil pump pick up screen to slide the pan back, also transmission/flywheel/flexplate is in the way, it hits the tunnel after raising a inch or so
You could drop transmission and then raise engine higher
With trans out you will want to replace rear main seal, and rear coolant line on the back of the head, its hard to get to if it leaks
Also check EGR system closely, also hard to get at.

yes, just tighten the large bolt, seen here: https://asavage.dyndns.org/ftp/Aeros...dapter_03b.png
