The engine in my 2002 Dodge Caravan sounds like it has has some major damage inside the motor. I am a fairly good mechanic, but have never taken out a motor that sets sideways. I have a engine hoist and an engine stand with a standard garage ceiling height. Is it possible for me to remove this engine, so that I can see what is wrong with it mechanically? Is it possible to remove the oil pan without removing the engine? Is there a good manual that I could purchase, that would guide me through the removal and rebuild?
Thanks,
Joe
