Topic: 2 piece 59 AB oil pan


MICHV8    -- 07-24-2024 @ 10:23 AM
  My understanding is that the 2 piece was primarily a commercial application (may the thinking was that more clutch/flywheel maintenance would be needed with a heavy duty vehicle?). Are there any gotcha moments for removal? Unfortunately, my engine stand will not accommodate the block, so I will need to work from below the hoist and plan to replace the oil pump and clean the pan. Any recommendations?
Thanks for the help...

  Stumpy's Fabworks may have an engine stand adapter that will work for you.

  That is exactly what I need...thanks.
Any advice on the removal/install of the 2 piece pan. I know rope seals are involved and can be fussy, but anything else? Are the 2 piece pans easier to deal with?
