Sounds like my next door neighbour has a little man with a hammer in his engine lol.

Showed the 10yo son how the hydraulic jack works.Raised the vehicle and slid under.Took a car stand with him for safety.Positioned the car stand where he was working.Son lowers jack with him under the car.Car stand slips but stops when it hits the sump.Big dent in the sump.Climbs out from under the car.Starts the engine, clunking sound heard.Tows the car to a local garage.Not wanting to remve the engine to replace the sump.Mechanic drills holes in the sump and pulls the dent out.Bogs up the holes and sprays the sump.Good as new?????????

FORDTECH Member 383 Member For: 21y 11m 14d Location: On the edge Posted 10/12/05 09:47 PM Share Posted 10/12/05 09:47 PM To assess the damage properly you should remove the engine.Yes you can remove the sump off the engine by removing the front end from under it but if you need to replace the bearings or anything else internally you can't remove the crankshaft that easy.All the extra time involved in removing the additional parts to facilitate crank removal in situ sort of defeats the purpose.
