No need to remove the center link. Just drop the idler arm from the frame and you get nice clearance.
Very helpful. Great heads up on the starter motor - I was prepared for the weight of that. Only difference with my experience is having to wrestle with A/T transmission cooler lines which partially blocked at least 3 bolts. Next up will be the Arning drop after viewing your video on it . . keep up the great work!!
My only minor comment would be that I might put oil in before putting the brace and the idler back in place. Just in case the pan is still leaking and you have to remove it again. I really like your videos. Clear and concise.
Thanks, my gasket came without instructions and this is the first one I've done on a 289 so I didn't know if I should put sealer on the gasket. Your video answered that. I removed both the idler arm and pitman arm. It gave me endless clearance. I used a ratchet strap and hooked it to the trans lines and hoist leg and was able to pull the lines a few inches to the passenger side enough to get them out of the way. Worked great. Thanks.
Empty it hot. Leave overnight, then work on it. He aware of you have hydraulic lfters it may not run right until the lifters fill up
I always put brand new oil and filter when I do a job like this. I noticed that your oil was quite dark for just a hundred miles. Felpro are excellent gasket, I always use them for such jobs. Most classic Mustang owners enjoy doing these jobs, part of the Hobby to me!! I have never seen a video for classic Thunderbirds or early Corvettes, I guess they don't like working on them!!!
Andy, your videos have made me feel confident working on my 65' Mustang. Thanks for all of your detailed efforts. I'm sending you some coffee money for saving my butt and making me look like I actually know what I'm doing.
Why didn’t you remove the oil pickup and clean that dirty screen? FYI. Originally that oil pan gasket was two parts. So that deep groove at the front of the block required a special gasket that would take up the area not covered by the two part gasket. It wasn’t gasket filler. Someone prior to you installed an one piece pan gasket over the front U shaped gasket. Lucky you didn’t leak from that area. Looks great….
Will the steering linkage drop after the idler arm has been removed even if it's a power steering system?
Hmm I guess I'm the only lucky fellow who has the dipstick riveted into the bottom of the oil pan. Not sure how to take that out without breaking it.
Thanks for the video because I have to do my Ford truck and I’m using the same type gasket this was really helpful
Good job! I need that fast forward button when I'm working on my car.
Andy, another quality video for sure. I will be doing this project later this year so this helps a lot. Wishing you continued success.
Great video. About to tackle this job on my Cougar!
Great video Andy!
Excellent tutorial. Thanks
Need to change the oil pan gasket on my 67 fastback. Had no clue how to do it now I’m certain I can do it. Thank you
Thanks for this video - really helped me with mine!
These are great videos Andy,I'm always itching to try doing something on my Muzzie. By the way what I did with my sump plug is to drill a hole to snugly fit a magnet about 1/2 inch long and 1/4 inch dia and using 2 part adhesive mix seat the magnet into the plug let it set and screw plug back into the
Great job. Thanks for the videos.
