smokin5s Posted February 20, 2006 Report Share Posted February 20, 2006 ok, I bought a S10 with a broken timing chain... no big deal... unfortunately, the chain shot metal all over the oil pan so it has to come down... who ever worked on this thing before put RTV EVERYWHERE and I can't get the oil pan down... anyone know any tricks to get it down or want to help get it pulled off...

smokin5s Posted February 21, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 cool, I'll let you know. I'm gonna try my damnest to get it done tonight, but if not, I can use all the help I can get :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokin5s Posted February 22, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2006 well fuck, so I get the pan taken care of... everything cleaned out and back on... I go to put the belt tensioner on and the bolt fell and went right into the oil pan... I'm not to happy... either I have rig something up or take the pan back off. I'm thinking maybe a wire coat hanger and a magnet will work... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smokin5s Posted February 22, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2006 I don't know if I'll have a chance to work on it tonight since I have class, but I need to try to find a long flexible magnet to try to get that screw out.

Guest FBody Addict Posted February 22, 2006 Report Share Posted February 22, 2006 that'll be fun since the pan is steel and the magnet will stick to everything and being on a string you can't push the magnet around go to autozone and spend $1.99 on one of those extendable magnets, comes in handy, i left two pushrods sitting in the lifter valley and then put the whole manifold back together i was able to run the magnet through a drainhole to the lifter valley and get the pushrods it's on like a cheap stereo antenna tube, so if you are carefull (just don't kink it) you can put wide bends into it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokin5s Posted February 23, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2006 I have 2 telescoping magnets... you can't use that cause it will hit the rotating assembly. I bought a bendable magnet that's about a foot and a half long... hopefully it will help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
