Not on a C180. Which engine parts is the sump fouling? Can they be rotated (eg, crankshaft) or removed (eg, oil pick-up pipe)?

It turns out on more research and faffing about you need an engine hoist to lift the engine up enough and drop the sub frame down to get the oil pan out. all sorted and back together now minus other problems which i have to sort now thank you
