Hey, I made a post about this the other day at the end of a really long thread and didn't really get any responses. Anyway, I have the oil pan dropped a little right now, but I can't get it all the way off. I searched around, but didn't find anything conclusive about whether or not they were able to get the pan completely off and do it right or they had to half-ass it with it in place (it seems like I would need several more inches to get it around the oil pump). I already have it jacked up a few inches, but the upper intake is hitting up against the firewall. I guess my question is, is it worth it to take the upper intake off or will it just hit something else? The way my luck runs is I'll take that upper intake appart and then something else will be holding it back. It also looks like one of the power steering hoses isn't going to stretch much more. I can get it as is, but would really like to get it off of there so I can clean out the pan and oil pump screen real well. TIA.
