Hey guys,
I just found that my oil Pan on my 5s has a crack that's leaking alot of oil. I have changed pans before but only with the engine out. So I was wonder if there are any tricks or tips you guys can give me on changing it with the engine instill in the bay. Anything would be appreciated. Thanks! -------------------- ...5sFREAK...

Or if the pan is all jacked up you can buy a cork oil pan gasket from Autozone. Felpro lists it for the camry 5S but I think I found it in the system looking for my 94 Celica. You still need to FIPG it but it held many thousands of miles on my old 5S before it decided to spin a rod bearing.
With FIPG you want to hand tighten the bolts and nuts down as tight as you can get them with just an extension and no ratchet. Let it sit for 24 hours then go back and torque the bolts down to spec. This will give you the best seal. This post has been edited by Special_Edy: May 23, 2014 - 5:44 PM |

FIPG will cure within that time and not be set right. -------------------- 2001 Celica GT-S Turbo
