1992 Chevy S-10 Tahoe Oil Pan Problems
Im trying to change the gasket on my Chevy S10 4.3L Engine, but I cant clear the oil pan. Ive removed the motor mounts, jacked up the engine, took off the flywheel cover and still cannot get enough clearance. Im pretty sure the oil pump is whats blocking me, but before I go do something stupid I would like a few Suggestions.
