belly pan removal and installation problem 200 1987

posted by  someone claiming to be david r on  Sun Oct 16 20:53 CST 2011 [RELATED]

hi I have two questions...the car is a manual trans.
background, just replaced the clutch and got everything back together. Oil light is on at idle and we figured that the seals on the oil pickup tube are bad so there is not enough pressure at idle to get oil to top of engine. However getting the bellypan off and back on without pulling the bellhousing is a real bastard. is there a trick to doing this? we do not want to have to pull the transmission back out again.

Also, once we had the car back together but still on jacks it started fine and I pushed in the clutch and let it out in first gear. then a sudden awful noise occurred and the car died. Upon inspection we found that the distributor had
jumped two cylinders and when the engine was at tdc on the first cylinder the rotor arm was at 3rd. how in the hell could that happen? is it possible that in messing with the oil pump the distributor was dislodged somehow?
