Can you remove the oilpan without removing the engine? I want to inspect the rod bearings, but don't want to pull the motor unless it's mandatory.

Thanx in advance.

Yes.

exhaust might be in the way of getting to some bolts..... but that unbolts easily too

oil pressure gauge will tell you everything you need to know about bearings...

cause you remove them caps... your starting to fuck w/ some serious internals... unless you suspect of bearing damage i say leave it alone

that IMO

^^^ um, you can still have good oil pressure AND a spun bearing.....

my oil pressure gauge sucks, i've heard bad things about it from a thread i started, so i don't think you should trust it.
