Anybody know if you can remove the sump off the engine in an XR6T without lifting the engine. Sounds like my next door neighbour has a little man with a hammer in his engine lol.

Yep the front suspension drops out of the way, my sump was replaced motor remained in car.

I appreciate that NT thanks alot.

Is it normally the big ends of mains that go on these?

You might be able to get the sump off etc, but you shouldnt just be replacing either big ends or mains without checking the crank out, and I dont think a pull down through the bottom of the motor is really the way to go, if it needs doing, do it properly.

Want a laugh.

Guy at work had to do some work under his Ford.

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?????????

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.
