Default Oil Pan
Has anyone pulled the oil pan on an '02 Ultra. Today I was changing out the oil filler neck for a chrome one, and one of the chrome washers somehow fell in the opening and into the oil pan. I thought about just leaving it in there, I doubt it will ever get sucked into the oil pump, but then I just can't take that chance.

pulled my pan after cam tensioners failed, just to see if any crap was in there, pain in the ***, getting the gasket to line up on the install was the worst, its an all day job but piece of mind for me was worth it

You really should take the pan down,the washer could end up in front of the pickup and restrict oil flow.You just never know,better to be safe than sorry.

Pulled lots of them, need to pull rear wheel then all the pan bolts. If the frame cross member is bent you will need to straighten it or the pan wont come out. There are 2 springs on top of the baffle that make it a little difficult but just work it back slowly. When replacing it put some Hylomar on the pan to stick the gasket in place.
