gen 3 oil pan (sump) gasket and rear main seal
Need to change oil pan and rear main seal. I wanna know if the engine needs to come out for this job.
Cheers.
Take it out/Take it Back
K-Frame will need dropping. So engine either has to come out, or be supported from above somehow.

A lot easier with engine out...

Why does it need to be done, is it your local Holden dealer saying it needs to be done? I got told mine needed to be done by Holden 5 years ago, still hasn't dropped any oil onto my driveway. They all seep a bit, and will be ok for a long time, if it's leaving puddles then it's time to look at it. Just check the bolts are done up evenly.

GRA = REAL HP
this type of job is easily done with the use of a engine brace .
FYI rear main seal $55.19, sump gasket set $80.16 Durapro (OE equiv.) or $111.35 Fel-Pro

I just did a VT Ecotec. Took the motor and trans out together to do the job. Same thing, rear main and sump.
Was I to do it again, I'd still do it this way. We wanted to have a good look at the rear main anyway, as it had been fitted with a speedy sleeve in the past.
'Ah well, I suppose it had to come to this.'
