Car Forum / Honda Cars / December 20081986 Accord Oil Pan
I need to remove the oil pan on my 86 Accord LX to clean the oil pump screen and associated parts. I have everything off that needs to come off including the nuts and bolts in the pan. On each side of the pan is a metal strip running almost the full length of the pan presumably to create a tighter seal. How do I remove these strips? I have all nuts and bolts out. Haynes or Chilton manuals do not show or mention these strips. Thank you very much. llc The strips stay in place. The pan is probably kind of glued in place from the aged oil. Tap it with a rubber mallet a few times and pry selectively, and it should come free. >I need to remove the oil pan on my 86 Accord LX to clean >the oil pump [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > > llc Thank you for your information. Due to cold weather and not havng time off I have not tried getting it off any more. Next opportunity I will try your suggestions. I hope you have had a very nice Christmas. > I need to remove the oil pan on my 86 Accord LX to clean the oil pump > screen and associated parts. what makes you think you need to do that? chances are, you'll introduce more grit into the system than you'll ever clean out. if you think there's gunk you need to dissolve, use a quality engine oil and change every thousand miles for 6 months. > I have everything off that needs to come > off including the nuts and bolts in the pan.

As to why, the oil light suddenly started coming on when rpns dropped to about 1800, going back off when rpms increase to about 1900 and stays on until rams drop again to about 1800. Taking things in the easiest order, I replaced the pressure swath, no change. The oil pump has less that 10,000 miles on it. It was replaced because the original one leaked. My thinking is that if the pump is defective the on-off rpms would not be so constant. My other reason is that a Honda mechanic said that in that series of engines the screens had as tendency to clog. Again, thank you for your response, and I hope you had a very nice Christmas. |
