Shop manual says I need to drain the cooling system as well as the crankcase. It also says I need to raise the engine a bit to put tension on the motor mounts, I assume to give someone room to remove the oil pump.
I am not going to drop the Oil Pump, just the pan to replace the 50 year old gasket.
2 Questions:
1) Do I need to drain the cooling system to just drop & clean the oil pan, and replace the gasket? (this I can do, but do I need to?)
2) Do I need to really raise the engine to do this? (I cannot as I do not have a motor sling).
