I need to replace my oil pan gasket, do i need any special tools or some way to support the engine? Not having any luck using google search.
Thanks

Yeah, you'll have to either pull the engine out, or drop the cradle. No special tools though.

Thanks dropping the cradle sound like the best way to go.

I know that I won't take my monte to SpeedWay ever again because they tighten my bolt to my oil pan so tight, I don't want to damage anything if I was to loosen it up. Today I tried to change my own oil and seen more then just the oil pan covered in oil. Parts of the body frame from the front had traces of oil on it, as well as other components. So, my oil is leaking but I don' tknow where and how much. I need help badly!!!
