Ok on this one it says you might have to raise the engine to remove pan. how many of you had to raise the engine on your 2wd to remove the pan. also it says to use blocks to hold the engine where do i put those if i have to raise the engine.

You shouldn't need to raise the engine. You should have enough room there.

Turn the crank until the timing mark is at 6:00. This gives a little more wiggle room.
