its because theyre years old.

 

Yet again. Where did you read that the upper oil pan had to be removed? The lower oil pan has to be removed and there are two screws that need to be removed. That's it!!

 

This thread is 5 years old. The pictures are no longer being on writertech.com for what ever reason like maybe the account is closed or time limits.

 

Thanks for pointing that out. I am about to undertake a similar repair on a 97, can anyone point in the best direction for help, I am somewhat savvy mechanically I would just like to fully understand the procedure before I start. Pictures, blow by blow account what ever. Thanks

 

okay, you blow me, and ill fix your car.
