while retightening the bolts can provide a temparary stop eventualy the gasket will need to be replaced,,,taking the engine out is the easiest but not cheapest,,unless you can do it yourself way to do it..
or get another engine,,thats what i'm doing,,im replaceing the 3.9 with a 4l form an eb,,i'll be getting all the gasket replaced before it goes in,,,

as mentioned, whilst the engines out, replace everything thats dispensible, right down to welch plugs, hoses, etc... they may not be gone yet, but chances are they're not far away |

dropping kframe is easier then pulling engine out.
i've done my car before, still need an engine crane though.

thanks for the advice guys, got ahold of a engine lifter today and I'm pulling the motor out tomorrow. What a stupid design! I'll let you know how it goes.
