Commercial-type sales postings will not be allowed.

VIEWING MULTIPLE TOPICS ON SCREEN: You can choose to see more than 10 Topics at a time ... Log In and choose "Preferences" from the top bar on the Forum page. Scroll down and Change the "Default Topics Returned" parameter to 25 or 50, and save the changes. Since this setting is stored in your browser 'cookies' (if enabled), it seems to use that stored value even if you are not logged in. So, if you use a PC that you haven't logged into the forum from, the setting still seem to remain at the default.
EXTERNAL PHOTO LINKS ON FORUM: You can still use external photo links in your posts on the new forum. They follow the rules of any link in that they have to have the URL link qualified down to the full image file name (example: .jpg). The links will open in a new browser window, the same as an uploaded image attached to a post. Since an image attachment to any post does not display inline with the post, the results are the same. You can use multiple external links within a post. This link is from photos on a site from Don Clink's 'Deuce@75' albums:

Using links from photo sites such as Photobucket can help in "size" issue with uploaded attachment files. For best viewing in web browsers, photos should be around the 800x600 pixel range, and probably not more than 1024x768. Most cameras today store HUGE jpg image files, as the default settings are in the 7, 8, 10, and 12Mb image sizes. The image files that are then attached are very large, and the browser can't display the full image size without using the scroll bars. Use the re-sizing functions of your photo editing software to reduce the image to 800x600, which reduces the file sixe and the image load time in the browser. Don uses Google's free Picassa3 software, which is an excellent photo management product. All of the photo albums of the Deuce, Grand National, and Auburn that are links on the NORG site were built using Picassa's web creation functions. And it's free? (THANKS to Don Clink for the info!)

I am trying to find out if it is possible to remove the oil pan on a 1936 Ford without pulling the motor.It seems that there might not be enough clearance from the cross member. Thanks for any information you can offer.

Yes it is possible, but hardly worth the trouble. The engine must be raised, drag link removed, and the wishbone needs to be loosened at the ball end , then pulled down and blocked. Seems like there were a few more issues besides. After all that you are still on your back looking up at a dark engine trying to do whatever needs to be done.
It is easier to just pull the engine, put it on a stand or bench where you can easily get at the internals.

Thanks for the info. I was afraid of that. the reason I wanted to remove the oil pan is because when I was draining the oil, I saw something covering part of the drain hole. I suspect maybe the strainer from the oil pump pickup.

Attached is the recommended procedure for oil pan removal from the 1932-1936 Engine & Chassis Repair Manual. It can be done.

is the strainer loose, can you move it with your finger or a wooden dowel? if not why are you pulling the pan for what is supposed to be where it is?

What ever it is, it can be moved around.

You can balance this work required to pull the engine with that for pan removal:

Remove hood
Disconnect battery
Drain radiator, remove hoses top and bottom
Remove distributor and ignition harness
Remove generator/fan assy
Remove intake manifold complete
Unbolt exhaust pipes and RH splash pan
Remove horns
Remove radiator
Remove Headlights
Jack front, turn wheels L and R to remove horn side panels (12 bolts)
Remove grille, front baffle (10 bolts)
Remove floor boards
Support trans with jack, remove bellhousing bolts
Remove front engine mount bolts
Attach hoist and remove engine

I've done it a few times and takes me about 4 hours (old and slow)

Houston, Tranquility Base here, the Eagle has landed.

if it is the strainer, there was supposed to be a short , small wire clip holding it up, but once the pan has been installed it will not come out the pump housing. it is only good for keeping the rocks out of the oil pump, that is if you put rocks in the engine and keeping heavy sludge at bay so the pump can pump oil
