Pic request: Oil pan removed with headers

[goldNSX]

Does anybody have a pic of the oil pan removed while the engine is still in the car? I have Taitec headers and am a bit lazy to uninstall it while changing the oil pan gasket. :wink:

LoL, we're in the same boat. :biggrin: I should get to it by mid week, this week though and will snap some shots if it's daylight out. Unless someone gets to the pic before I do. I'm also welding in a dali oil baffle.

Good to know! Please let me know if you had to remove the header. It will save me a lot of trouble. Pics are greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I just did this over the weekend and it's probably near impossible to do it right without taking the front header off. I was in the same boat but just decided to do it right. The biggest problem is that even if you are able to take off the pan with the header installed, it is near impossible to align new gasket and install it unless you can install the oil pan straight.

Took me a while to undo the header but I think it was worth it.

Thanks for the feedback. What the weight of the oil pan, 1-2 kg?
