leaving oil pan off for a week

[lil corb]

Going to do Tbelt job and Balancer shaft removal kit, I only have time on the weekends to do it. Would I be ok if I leave the oil pan off through out the week? I don't want to put it back to on to remove it everytime I continue to work?
Should I take another steps so the crank or anything won't get messed up?

thanks

Is the car in a garage? I would spray everything down with WD-40 including the bottom of the cylinder bores, to keep rust away. Other than that shouldnt be a problem.

yea car is in a garage, just spray wd-40 on the girdle and crank and all that?

Yea just get a pretty good coat on everything, just to prevent water from getting to it. Just a saftey precaution. I have left mine off for weeks at a time and have no probs. Good luck

Might not hurt to have a plastic sheet under it as well. It will keep moisture from rising through the concrete or floor.
