Mercury 3W7Z-6675-BB Engine Oil Pan Assembly

Place the oil pan gasket on the oil pan. The gasket has alignment tabs that will keep it in place on the oil pan.

Remove the through bolts from the front engine mounts. Place a block of wood under the oil pan and lift the engine slightly with a jack. Caution: When raising the engine on models with an automatic transmission, watch the clearance between the transmission dipstick tube and the Thermactor downstream air tube going to the catalytic converter. If the tubes contact before adequate mount-to-sub frame clearance is achieved, lower the engine and remove the dipstick tube and downstream air tube.
