I'm changing my oil pan tomorrow and I'm trying to find a write up for it. I know it's pretty straight forward, but this will be the first time that I change one that uses rtv and not a gasket. So any tips or pics would be sweet.

i don't believe there is a write up. It's not a common task. You can look at the banjo oil bolt upgrade DIY in the FAQ...it may give some instructions. I do know that there is an tightening order recommended in the Helms Service Manual. It might be worth picking up a copy or asking in your regional s2ki forum to borrow one from a local.

- Remove front lower tie bar
- Disconnect A/C compressor from engine
- Remove bolts from transmission to oil pan 2 14mm bolts
- Remove 10mm bolts in a criss-cross pattern off the oil pan in 2 steps
- Make sure all bolts are removed holding on the pan
- Pry on the passenger side closest to the rear of the motor ( there is a notch to get in a flathead screwdriver) and work around since there are dowels and hondabond holding it in

Drain engine oil before dropping the pan too!

Remove all old gasket from the engine - and oil pan if you are using that one again - and de-grease with a cloth.
Becarefull not to scratch/groove the relatively soft aluminum while removing the old gasket.
There are 2 dowel pins too that you need again.
They might be stuck in the pan (IIRC)
