Re: replacing oil pan seal on '64 Sport Fury with a 383

["dennis.1963ply" <dennis.1963ply@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

I have changed the seal a couple of times on my 63 Sport Fury with the 383 without lifting the engine.

There is room without lifting the engine but the steering link must be dropped.  I changed mine just dropping the link however I suspect lifting the engine a little would be a great help.  The reason I've done it a couple of times is that I have screwed up the installation a couple of times before getting it to stop leaking.

The only suggestion I have for changing the seal is to use a couple of bolts with the heads cut off and slotted on the end to guide the seal retainer in when installing.  I also made of some similar bolts without heads to align the pan when reinstalling.

If anyone has a foolproof rear seal kit recommendation and the procedure for installing the seal it would really be appreciated.

My local shops software only goes back to 1968 to estimate labor hours.

Does the engine have to be "lifted" to replace the oil pan 

gasket on a 383?

Thanks,
