Mine appears to be seeping here... since my head will be off this winter, I figure I'll pull the pan as I shall be pulling the front timing cover too for new chains and guides.

Is it possible to install a new pan gasket with the motor still in the car? Sure I'll have to remove the motor mounts and shocks (not a big deal to me), but can I jack the motor up far enough and toss some 2x4 planks under the mounting arms to support it while pulling the pan out?
