Hey guys I really hope to get some help here, I would really appreciate it, so let me start from this , I have a 1993 Mercedes 300se W140 3.2l I6 motor, it had some undercarriage damage and busted the oil pan real badly(also busted off the oil level sender thing)
So I have all the parts I need and my oil pan is unbolted I have been trying almost everything to try to get it out without seperating the transmission from the engine. So unbolted the motor mounts, exhaust, drive shaft, mount from tranny.i even took off the valve cover to see if it would give me a bit more room to lift the motor, I'm lifting it with a engine hoist and the engine just hits the firewall, starts to lift the car itself and there's still not enough room for me to take out the oil pan, with the two crossmembers that are welded onto the body, does anyone know any other tricks, because I see no other way than to seperate the engine from tranny and lift the engine way up alone ,and I really really don't wanna do that (
Please help!!! Thank you..
