2seater Posted April 25, 2004 Share Posted April 25, 2004 You do not have to remove the starter, but you will need to remove the plastic cover from the bottom of the flex plate area. The oil filter adapter is partially in the way to pull the pan straight down, if your filter adapter hangs straight down, but it will come off, although you will need to remove the filter. The one piece Fel-Pro gasket came with four long plastic "studs" which are split in the middle which are installed on the four corners of the block. Th gasket can be installed over the studs so it hangs from them and then the oil pan will hang from them also. This will allow make sure the gasket is lined up and then lift the pan straight up.
