Hey folks,
I've got a 2WD '91 3.0 that I need to replace the front cover gasket and oil pan gasket. It has original 84k so age has simply taken it's toll.
I know the oil pan has to come out to get the front cover gasket out, per the shop manual. Being a 2WD, the pan can't come out with the engine just sitting there. Ford says lift the engine after lowering part of the front suspension.
Whether I go that route or simply pull the engine and work on it outside the truck, I can't figure where the lift points would be to attach a chain or whatever.
I pulled an engine on an old 1960's Volvo but that was decades ago.
I know a lot of you have done this a number of times, so I thought I'd ask. Thanks much in advance!
