Looking for someone to talk me out of trying to replace my oil pan because it's dented, because "if it ain't broke, don't fix it."
I've read where it's possible to do this by raising the engine, but that the oil pump pickup needs removal, other people say it's easier to just remove the engine. The fact that I'm the one who caused this makes this no easier.
There are no leaks or anything, but I KNOW it's there. This is a 302 C4 with a 2 bbl carb. I'm half tempted to let it go over the summer, and have my local guy do it, but I definitely want to get it taken care of at some point. I have an engine hoist, but not sure if I have the ambition, I'm not a kid any more..........just venting I guess.........
