Oil Pan Gasket replacement, Finally!
Okay Ive finally got a time free this weekend to change the oil pan gasket on my 1980. I bought the new silicone gasket and I want to lift engine from bottom. Can I please get step by step instructions on the whole repair. I will use lock tite on threads, I do not mind.
Thank you |

There is an O ring on the sump pickup tube that is also advisable to replace while you have the oil pan off. You might want to get that ordered.

Helpful from www 928 tips Nicolas site. -others have posted there procedure too,if something else strikes a model yr/method. SITES good for mucho r/r
It appears I am not the only one with the pan leaking problem. There has been a lot of incoming email wanting to know the easy way to replace it so here it goes. I used an engine hoist and two under hoist adjustable jack stands. Drain oil, remove oil sending unit (watch out for that other spring), remove oil fill tube, unplug oil level unit wire, loosen alt. and a/c belts and brackets, remove lower radiator shroud, remove all accessible oil pan bolts, starter, clutch cylinder, and two motor mount nuts and washers. The engine is now resting on the crossmember. On both sides of each motor mount is a mount support built into the lower crank case which also attaches to the top crank case. Place a jack stand under the bolts of each support forward of each mount. Raise the engine to where the mount bolts clear the holes and are about 1 inch above the hole. Remove the remaining four pan bolts and lower the pan. With a 10mm socket and 6mm allen, remove the oil pickup and drop it into the pan. Remove the pan, clean and inspect, reassemble in reverse order. How long does it take? If I knew now what I just shared with you, probably not more than 2 - 2 1/2 hours. I hope this helps, Eric

I believe it's listed as oil pickup tube seal.
