after bhg #2
or during bhg #2 i knew i blew the gasket like 1 mile from my house .I let it sit till the next day ,( i wasn't in a rush to to the job ) i drained the oil and nothing but water came out at first .. what a shocker then you remember oil and water don't mix and that oil floats on water so after the engine settles the water is at the lowest point of the oil pan . . i didn't worry too much about it and she's running just fine still 3 yrs later . I just spanked 2 cars tonight , one was a lexus and i just don't know what the other one was i never let it get close enough to pass me and it was dark out . wasn't really any challenge but it's always heart pounding @120 mph it's running real good and i just need more money to pour into it .

What do you mean cut the crossmember out? Doesn't it unbolt? That's what the service manual says.

I didn't notice any bolts, but maybe they're just covered with grease and dirt. If it unbolts it would be easy to get the pan down.
There IS a bolt-on round tube that's used to laterally stiffen the front suspension-only 2 bolts.

The service manual has a section on how to remove the oil pan with the engine in the car. It's under "Oil Pump".

There are 4 long bolts and 2 in the rear part of the crossmember. You might as well remove the front suspension and unbolt the rack and pinion. There is a lot too it, but I think it equals out from pulling the engine. It's just that if you find something wrong with the engine you will probably have to pull it anyway.
