Oil Pan Stuck on
Okay whoever owned this H22 before was a moron and didn't use a oilpan gasket and just honda bonded the pan to the block. I've taken all the nuts off and hit it w/ a rubber mallet. The thing won't budge. Any suggestions?

Re: Oil Pan Stuck on (Propulsion)
for one its better to just use honda bond rather then a gasket. but thats besides the question. try to carfully hammer a wedge in there. if you caN gett going just keep rotating around the pan untill its off. but u should b able to knock it losse with the mallet. dont be scared to wack the hell out off it

The wedge idea would work, I would suggest trying a chisel and hammer, just for the love of God be careful not to chisel into the block or the oil pan lip or you won't get it sealed right again, but if you're careful it should work.

If it's the aluminum oil pan, then Hond bond is the correct way to seal the oil pan but if it's steel one then they should of used a gasket. If it's the aluminum pan is there a threaded hole anywhere were you can run a bolt through to help seperate the pan fron the block?

If you can find a rolling head pry-bar (I think they would have them at Sears) you can get it under the lip of the pan and roll it up.
Here is a link to what the snap on version looks like:

One from Sears should look similar.

Re: Oil Pan Stuck on (Scott_Tucker)
yes it's an aluminum oil pan, and there are 2 threaded holes on the pan... do these help remove the pan?
BTW, I looked up a 96 prelude block (which should have the alu. oil pan) and the parts page shows a gasket...?

Those threads will help split the pan from the block when you run the bolt through it. Hondabond and aluminum go hand on hand, it will seal better than a gasket by itself. Personally I would reseal it with Hondabond and not use the gasket but make sure you clean the surface.
