Does anyone know if I can drop the oil pan in my 88 GMC suburban, 1/2 ton, 4X4, 350 auto, with the engine in? I need to replace the pan and would like to do it without pulling the engine. It looks like there is plenty of clearance. What do I do where it meets up to the timing chain cover? Anything special that needs to be done? Thanks.
