Book Excerpt: 1949-1986 Jeep CJ, Scrambler, Renegade, Laredo, Golden Eagle Repair Manual INTRODUCTION TO THE JEEP CJ

The Jeep CJ is available in an open utility body style with a folding windshield. Later models feature removable, folding tops or hardtops in both conventional and pick-up styles. Power from the engine is passed through the transmission to a transfer case and then to the front and rear axles by driveshafts. Both manual and automatic transmissions are available on these vehicles. Early models used a cam and lever type steering gear while later models featured a recirculating ball type steering gear with power assist as an option. Suspension is by semi-elliptic springs with tubular shock absorbers. Both four-wheel drum and front disc/rear drum brakes are used on these vehicles, with power assist as an option.

OIL PAN - REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION

1. Due to clearance problems with the chassis crossmember, the oil pan can only be removed with the engine out of the vehicle.
2. Remove the oil pan retaining bolts and lift off the oil pan. It may be necessary to use a rubber mallet to break the seal.
3. Prior to installing the oil pan, clean any dirt or old gasket material from the sealing surfaces of the oil pan and engine block.
4. The oil pan gasket consists of four separate gasket pieces. Each must be carefully installed in its proper place to form a good junction with the other pieces it joins with.
1. Install a rear oil pan gasket in the rear main bearing cap and apply a small quantity of RTV-type sealant in the depressions where the pan gasket engages in the block.
2. Install the front oil pan gasket on the timing gear cover, pressing the tips into the holes provided in the cover (photo).
3. Install the side gaskets on the oil pan, using grease to hold them in place.
4. Trim the ends off the front gasket as indicated in the accompanying illustration to form a good joint with the side gaskets.
5. Apply a bead of RTV-type sealant at the split lines between the front gasket and the side gaskets. The pan can now be installed.
