I have a h22A4 that im about to change the pistons in. I have all the bolts out of the oil pan but the sucker wont break loose. I have been beating it with a rubber mallet for about 3 mins now. Any tricks to getting this motha off?

 

tap a gasket scraper in between the block and the pan. pry up and down. remove oil pan.

just keep on tapping it with a mallet, it will come off, its that honda bond, its doing its job

 

make SURE all bolts are out. I know sounds dumb but i don't know how many times I've beat on things b/c i missed a nut, I'm pretty sure there are two nuts between the motor and tranny, if the engine is still in the car these can be over looked very easily, and if that is not he case, GET A B.F.H.!!!
