im installing my turbo right now and ive run into a problem. i have removed all the bolts off the oil pan but it will still not come off. there is some kinda putty **** holding it on or something like that. if you have had to take your oil pan off please help me and tell me how you did it. thx

 

well, it's probably getting stuck on ur flywheel cover. So take off the 3 bolts or so for that cover and start shinazling it to get it out. I think the oil pan is the pia, but i suppose there is worse.

 

The oil pan is still held on by some dried liquid seal or something like that. I used a very thin knife. There should be a small lil part that has space to start plying into. It was really hard to get off and it took me a long while to take it off. That's how I did, so take ur time and be careful not to hurt urself.

Somebody might have another idea of how to take it off so.

 

when you put it back on did you put a gasket or did you just put it on and said **** the gasket?

 

I put some gasket back on with it so i wont have any oil leaks.

 

use some elbow greese and pry it off with a sharp object.

 

I agree with checking out your flywheel cover. It is usually needed to be removed when taking off the oil pan.

Be careful when prying the oil pan off you dont scratch the surface where it mates to the block, so that your new gasket will seal up properly.

The pan is being held on by hondabond...on h22's there is no gasket per-se, only a small rubber section where the pan crosses the crank at the flywheel side. There is a cast in boss on the timing end of the motor that you can pry on...it usually takes a good amount of force to break the seal.

thanks guys for the info, hopefully it works i wanna drive my car again

 

Dude whack that **** off. Take a soft mallet hammer and knock it off. Knock it off from one side to another. Screw that knife thing.

 

Ohh and bye the way. Use lots of Hondabond or some type of silicone when re-installing.

BTW the H22A1 oil pan has a gasket. So H22A1 you will need to pry the gasket off. H22a4 indeed doesn't have a gasket...just some silicone/hondabond junk holding it on.
