So I am getting ready to pull the oil pan so I can pound the dents out of the oil pan. Can the pan be pulled in frame? Any thing I should look at while I have it open? Thoughts on sourcing pan gasket and oil filter. (I don't have a Case shop local) How many quarts should go in the engine? I looking for what I might not be thinking about. Help me not to make mistakes.. Thank for the help.
Just for laughs:
I believe the pan can be removed while the engine is installed. The oil pump needs removed before you can slide the pan out. Gasket kit is a FP Diesel part# A189524
