Take a look at the noob guide on here, there's a link for a free downloaded version of the manual. The rockers usually break between 80-180k miles if the EGR is active.

Check your torque converter bolts. I removed the oil pan on mine thinking I had a rod knocking. It turned out to be the torque converter bolts backing out for the second time. It was a lot of work to get the oil pan off with the motor in the vehicle.

Did you support the top of the engine and drop the k-frame with the power steering stuff unbolted?

You are the only person I have heard of that has managed to remove the pan while the engine is still installed. I would very much like to hear what your process was.

Insert a drill bit or hex key through any one of the 4 oil drain holes into the corresponding hole on one of the weights to index it in the right position. Then install the assembly with the #1 cylinder at TDC.

Double check my info. I'm going off memory.

I wouldn't do it again that way. I loosened and lowered the front end and drop it down out of the way while lifting the motor with a cherry picker. There was just enough space to slide the oil pan rewards. Of course the wheel alignment was off when I bolted the front end back up again. It would have been so much easier just to pull the whole motor, hopefully with the tranny attached to it. I would think one could remove the grill and maneuver it out in one big chunk. Fun times!
