Yes your right the cross member does go under the oil pan on the 7m's, but it also goes under the oil pan on the 5m's too. I still can get my pan off on my 5m. By again taking the mounts loose from the frame and jacking the engine up and putting 2 x 4 blocks under the mounts to hold the engine up. I have done this twice to change out rod bearings. yes the oil pan gets snaged that why you just have to work with it to and turn the crank by hand to get the counter weights out of the why. I can do this in about 15 min. I'm a pro at it know.!!!!!!!!!!
