be careful, normally when it does that the oil pump is locking up.

You shut up. I don't want to hear that. Haha

Is it possible to yank the motor up enough (without disconnecting the trans) to slide the oil pan out from underneath?

Damn... that blows. Well I know my VC gaskets don't have the anti crush "rings" in them.

If I can remove the pan without removing the motor completely off the tranny and out of the bay I won't hesistate to swap in a new OP.

I would try to turn it be hand first. I had afeeling form the start you may had dropped the shaft or something. You could drop the kmember and suspension to get access to the oil pan.

I told you it was the shady between 8:11 and 8:17.

You can lift the motor up high enough in the car to get the pan off and do the pump.

I might be able to swing by and lend you a hand if I don't go into work tomorrow.

Do you have an engine hoist? It'd be alot easier to crank the motor up instead of dropping the suspension and K-member.
