Eldorado FTW!
Greetings,
I have a 2016 Eldorado (32K miles) with an oil leak from the lower base gasket on the left cylinder. I am going to remove the head and check the torque on the stud nuts. If the torque is sat I am going to have to replace the gasket. After careful examination the procedure for jug removal looks like it can be done with the engine still in the frame. However, the shop manual shows the engine out of the frame for all pictures. Before I start ripping the old girl apart I want to make sure I can get it done as planned. Can the jug be removed while the engine is in the Frame? Has anyone done it?
