Oil Pan Bolt Pattern

[Keyav8r]

Was anyone smarter than me and made a diagram of the bolt pattern on their 4.0 oil pan bolts? Most of them are short hex heads, but some have a threaded end to attach the splash shield and support sensor leads. My pan has been off much longer than my memory and I didn't sketch or photo the locations.

Going to try to get it back on tomorrow and start on the exhaust manifold. Definitely will take photos of everything else I take off.

Well, I can tell you that the ½"/13mm hex bolts go in each corner and as far as the threaded studs go, those should go where ever the brackets that hold the transmission lines in place are.  The left over 11mm hex bolts go everywhere else.

I did.

 

Hard to explain but here goes.

 

Disregarding the 4 small bolts that go into the timing cover.

 

2nd and 3rd ones back on the passenger side are studs.

 

1st and 2nd ones back on driver's side are studs.

 

I have a handmade diagram if anyone who is a computer geek wants me to scan it to via email and convert it into a nice computer type file.....

Thanks, gents! Cruiser, I'll PM my e-mail address for your diagram. Who knows when I might have to pull the pan again and have another brain f@&t?

I'd like a copy of this diagram also.  I shall PM you too.

• I have pictures of the four "quarters" of the oil pan before I removed the bolts. I'll post them up here when photo bucket stops misbehaving.

Well, two of you have the diagram. Who wants to clean it up and post it?

Don't have a diagram but I can feel your pain LOL. A good trick I use is to sketch the part out on a piece of cardboard and then punch the fasteners into it as I'm taking them out. Good for timing covers, oil pans, etc. that have a bunch of different sized fasteners.

Cruiser - I'll redraw it with notations on bolt and stud locations and post it. May take a few days as I have a conference to work through Tuesday.

 

If I can learn how to add notes on a photo, I'll use a photo of my oil pan. Otherwise, I'll just draw it.

 

is there a way to attach a pdf file to a post?
