Changing 172 Sump

[stu-172]

Just about to change the sump on a 172? Is it easy enough, ino the oil pump will get in the way, do I jus remove to sub frame bolts and drop it down a bit?

 

[Fred@BTM]

you have to lift the engine up a bit (drivers side) and then wobble it out

bugger to do

Thought it wud be! Lol! I shall have a go 2nite! Should I Undo the engine mount bolts then?

Have you got an engine crane? or a winding hoist?

As Freds said its an arse todo the oil pump gets in the way aswell with the plastic guard.

Dont forget to fit a new rubber gasket, they can leak all over the place if they are not changed.

^or if you overtighten the bolts!

Didn't get a chance to look at it 2nite, so will prob be the weekend. If I lift the engine slightly with the crane will that put strain on any other parts like the shafts or steering rack?
