RE: You don't have to pull the engine, Joe.

I've had the pans off FEs in any car chassis they put it in and never had to pull the engine. At most, the engine was jacked up and blocked.

If your pressure problem is cured by higher oil level it sure sounds like you're going to have to drop the pan to put gaskets on the pickup. This will probably get worse if you don't. You have enough pressure now to keep everything lubed and pressurized so while it may be a bit lower than normal, it's not dangerously low.

This thread, so far...
