I wanted to take a moment to welcome Improved Racing to frrax as our latest supporting vendor. Improved Racing has a very nice baffle for the LS1 oil pans to help prevent oil slosh and starvation. This looks like a much needed product for our cars and a possible alternative to a full aftermarket pan. More information can be found on their website:

Is it possible to remove/replace the fbody LS1 pan without dropping the Kmember? Can the engine be nudged upward just a bit with a hoist to get enough working room?

Seems like I've heard of it being done, but maybe that was by also lowering the k-member.
Getting the front of the pan to clear won't take a lot of extra space. Getting the pickup out of the box will take a bit of space, and the rear of the engine isn't going to come up much... |

Maybe it's a good thing that I didn't end up with the aftermarket pan (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Thanks for the comments!
As for dropping the pan, it may be possible but as John mentioned you do need quite a bit of space to clear the pickup. You can try raising the engine and lowering the k-member a bit until it clears, and if it doesn't, just unbolt the k-member completely. I've only done it on my Rx7 (LS1-powered) and I just dropped the whole k-member since I'm changing all my suspension bushings and I had to re-thread one of the bolt-holes for the K-member anyway (it was stripped). If you don't have a hoist available, this can come in handy (I haven't tried it though, I used a hoist): http://www.northerntool.com/webapp/wcs/sto...09403_200309403 |
