How do you remove the tray from the oil pan? Only thing I found on YouTube was a guy just dropping the pan onto the floor! There’s no way in hell that will work for my ‘31 pan. Those indentations in the pan and tray are pretty deep, once snapped in they don’t just fall out. I’m thinking of clamping one side of the pan in vise and prying with a pipe where the oil pump opening is. Thanks08-22-2022, 04:11 PM -
Snyder's catalogue shows an oil pan shield that is noted in the Service Bulletins. Has anyone installed one of these and/ or is it needed ? How is it secured, and could it be modified to fit in an older oil pan ?07-24-2020, 04:29 PM -
Without removing the oil pan from the engine are there identification marks on the pan that indicate whether it has baffles installed or not. Also, when did Ford begin building engines that had baffles in the pans. Thanks for any help as I'm completely baffled at this point!03-24-2022, 12:59 PM -
Good Morning,
Can someone help me with information on installing the oil pan. When installing the oil pan, does the oil pump pass through the opening in the shelf? Does the spring come to rest on the pan itself? Resting right around the drain plug hole?
Or, do I have the shelf installed backwards?You do not have permission to view this gallery.

I am dropping my oil pan for the first time on my 1931 Model A as there is starting to be excessive oil leaking and it has never been dropped in the 5 years that I have owned the car. I have followed the removal instructions in the Andrews Mechanics Handbook and even though I have removed all 20 bolts, the oil pan will not drop. I have lightly tapped it with a rubber mallet and still no movement...06-08-2022, 02:20 PM -
I have an oil pan with a row of small holes. I took it to a welder and it blew out right away. They recommended brazing it. I told them I'd think about it and picked it up. The pan has quite a bit of pitting on the outside but no other holes (yet). My thought is to just find another pan. How difficult is it to find a nice one?

Has anyone used these to help replacing oil pan gaskets on the car?

1st time changing the oil today - saw there was some sludge build up in the bottom of the oil plug. Also saw some build up on the oil fill port as well.
Ordered a kit for the oil pan gasket and will plan on dropping to clean next..
My question is would you use some sort of engine cleaner based on observed sludge prior to dropping the pan?
Or simply drop the pan to inspect?...05-10-2020, 08:10 PM
