4kq Oil Pan Removal

[Frank de Kat <fdekat@sentex.net>]

I was wondering if anyone has removed a 4000q oilpan sucessfully, when the
motor is still in the car...?

Why do I ask, you ask? 
Recently the oil pressure light has been coming on when I'm pullng high
revs. I was thinking that 'something must be wrong with the oil pressure
gizmo, that has two sensors', as who ever heard of low oil pressure, at
high revs? 
Oil pressure usually goes *up* as revs go up.

Then I remembered why I built the sumpguard...
Both myself and the previous owner have driven many miles of 'rally roads',
resulting in a somewhat 'dented' oilpan. I'm now thinking that the
'denting' has created a starvation problem at high revs, as I'm betting the
bottom of the pan is probabaly against the oil pickup...
What's it look like in any of the Bently pictures? Likely situation?

Thanks for any help!

Regards!
