202 sump off with engine in?

[hammondo]

Hi, can the 202 sump be removed with the engine in place? looks like a definate maybe, there's a bit of room there (with rack removed), just need to change the sump and timing case gaskets. Thought someone here may have tried it already.

thanks
Greg

There is a way to do it according to the Supplementary Service Manual although I have never tried it. You can read it at the link below, its on page 7. Lots of other info too.

   Hope this helps .
