My suggestion honestly, is if you need a write up...I wouldn't even start tackling this kind of job.

All you need is torque specks and the basic statement "When you install the new gasket on a clean pan and block use RTV gasket maker on BOTH sides of the pan gasket and use blue loc-tite on the pan bolts and torque to speck".

If you need a how to do this...then your way over your head. its pretty obvious what needs to be done to get the job done.

But if you want to do it yourself and save a few hundred to $500.00 and not pay some one else to do it, then make your own write up on the service.

I would do it, but the last write up I did got hounded pretty good, so will probably never do another one.

Thanks. I know I can do it as I've done it on my GTP but the engine was out of the car at the time. I was just wondering if there was a way to avoid droping the sub frame, but I guess their isnt.

Also, any tips on supporting the engine while the subframe is out?
