The oil pump went out on my GTO engine. Fortunatly I caught it before any engine damage happened. The manual says that in order to remove the oil pan the engine must be removed from the vehicle. My question is can the pan be removed with the engine still in the vehicle? It looks like the engine can be raised several inches. Would this offer enough clearance? Anyone remove an oil pan with engine still in the vehicle. Engine is a 65 code WS 389. Thanks
