Well, we started on this head job and have to pull front cover to replace one of the chain guides..I defintely picked the wrong week to give up cussing!!! '
Question is..Do I HAVE TO remove the oil pan to get the front cover off?? We have all the bolts loose,including the three that go up on the bottom of front cover, but there seems to be something hanging up at the bottom on the center/passenger side of the cover. We can pry the cover left and right, and it will come almost an inch back from the top, but something's hanging it up on the bottom...
Does anyone know if there's a locator stud on the lip of the oil pan?? This is a real PITA as we can't see anything obvious. It's a 2WD.
So, does the oil pan have to be removed..?? Can it be be pry'd down if we loosen a few bolts near the front?? Anyone with info, we'd appreciate it.
Thanks, Bob
