Thank you for this video Phil! You are a treasure for taking the time!
👍
Thanks for posting about the Fiero! just got an 85 gt, first car ive ever really worked on. These videos are an excellent reference!
Kevin Hexemer glad these are helping, I’ll have more coming later this year
I was about to do this tomorrow, thank God I watched this video.... Definitely waiting for summer to do this, so I can drop the engine.... P.s. oil pan gasket isn't the only thing I have to do, That's why it's just better for me to wait and drop the engine in the summer... Thanks for the very informative video Andy!
Thanks for the comment, glad it helped
Hi there, did you apply sealant to the rubber part of the gasket? I always get mixed answers from the Fiero community about that.
Thanks, what did I get myself into? Lol. By the way, you should wear eye protection. I'm still digging rust out from my eyes just inspecting it.
Thank you, thank you, thank you !!!!!
Good video, in order to remove pan, you need to loosen all the motor mounts trans , dog bone and motor mount? When jacking the motor up is it thru the transmission pan?
I place the jack lightly on the trans pan with a block resting on the corners of the pan. If you put full weight on the trans pan you can puncture it
Great videos Man. I’m still fight to remove the pan. I’ve got the lower mount out but still don’t have clearance. Pan still hitting the top portion of the mount. How did you get around that? Do I have remove alternator to move that portion off?
felconfly no, just loosen it to slide it out of the way. It’s a pain to remove; if you don’t have a lift like I don’t, you’ll need a full day to remove and reinstall
One question, if I drop the oil pan can I get to the rod bolts so I can push the rods and piston up and out? Im checking the heads (warpage) and replacing head gasket and want to hone cylinders, ring replacement and piston inspection. I have lost compression in some cylinders, thanks, Bill
bill m I believe you can. To be honest, it’s been a while since I worked on that but I think you can.
Great Video, I'm paying a shop to tackle it. If they are into it that far is there anything else i should have them just replace while they are there?
Oil pump is not a bad idea if it’s the original. Also check the motor and transmission mounts, make sure the bushings aren’t drying out.
Hi. Great video. Wow, there is a lot of work to remove an oil pan. How much time did it take including the oil pump replacement?
Rick Harris it was an all day job. When the oil pan is removed the oil pump is easy.
Heyo, I know this is an old video, but I was hoping you could help me out. Would this be just about the same procedure for the 2.5L?
I’m not sure. I’ve only worked on the 2.8L GT version. I believe the smaller one had a different oil pan.
Great video! I am working on a pontiac fiero myself and this video helped me out a bunch! My next task would be to remove the exhaust. Do you have any tips for removing the exhaust? Ty!
Thanks for the feedback. Are you removing the entire exhaust system to the manifolds?
@@PhillipsVision Yes
J Nino the manifold against the Firewall is tricky. You need to basically feel your way around. The other side is easy since everything is exposed.
Why didn’t you show installation of the oil pan? A lot of people would like to know if you had any problem installing it. I have a v 6 and I am having trouble getting the oil pan back on.
If one had a shop crane (Cherry picker) could you slightly lift the motor to remove the motor mount?
Yes
@@PhillipsVision thank you sir!!
@@PhillipsVision Thoughts on best location to lift from? Dog bone connection?
How did you lower the tail pipe? Did you remove the springs from the pipes?
Yes, you need to remove the springs
@@PhillipsVision thanks for the reply, any tips on removing them? I’ve struggled but only got one so far
@@digitalrat3823 Try raising the pipe up to release the pull on the springs
@@PhillipsVisionTHANK YOU! Got another one out. Appreciate your knowledge my friend
I know it's an extremely late comment but that was the crankshaft above the oil pan right?
I spun a bearing and I'd really like to just go from the oil pan to fix it
Yes, that is the crankshaft
@@davidquarells4389 yes, that’s the crankshaft
@@PhillipsVision Sorry beginner car guy, do you know if the bearing replacement will be easier from the oil pan?
