I'm having difficulty removing the oil pan and need some assistance. Please advise. Thank you.

Did you remove the downpipe and that center beam (not sure of exact name see picture below)? If you do that, then there should be nothing stopping you. All it is is removing bolts. Don't really know how else to help you


This guy needs to come off....

 

I am betting money he didn't , don't forget to undo that front motor mount bolt as well. Just an fyi.

I believe that is the cross member.

 

I believe that is the cross member.

haha that's what I thought but didn't want to say the wrong thing and confuse him. So I checked somewhere I knew it would mention it and they said 'center beam' so that's what I went with. Anyways OP once you remove that and the downpipe you're good to go.

 

Thats one good thing about Mitsubishi is that the pans are easy to remove .When you put the pan gasket back on one thing you might think about doing is putting a very small amount (paper thin) of RTV on it to help hold it in place and be sure the pan and the block have perfectly smooth surfaces when you reassemble it .

 

Sounds like you need to get a haynes or chilton manual.

 

Alright I got it off I took the crossmember off and I relized the dp had to come off aswell but I was just seeing if there was away around it because my exhaust bolts are rusted to hell so I ended up droping it from the headers so it gave me enough room to remove the oil pan thanks alot everyone and

one more question my car idles rough as hell especialy when I cut the ac but thats normal because it puts more load on the car but it bounces back and forward between 1000-400
thanks again
