Hoping for some tech help for pulling my 1974 case 450 dozers oil pan. After pulling the perimeter bolts on the flange, I noticed the rear section of the flange is pinched between the transfer case and such. Need to get to the rear cylinder to take a micrometer measurement. Anyonehave a simple procedure to accomplish this with a minimum amount of teardown? thanks guys
where do you need to take this measurement? Is it a crank journal measurement, or a cylinder bore measurement? Can you do it from the head-side? or do you want to remove the piston? i have a '78 450, but i've never pulled the oil pan. I think we need to know exactly what you need to measure first.
