As the piston cannot be removed at the bottom unless the crankshaft is removed...One would not want to try that in the car
to remove the crankshaft would be a PITA to try and remove in the car
Trans removed..front cover..chain tensioner and cam gears..

Thanks for the replys. I am curious, why would the crank have to come out to replace a piston? I already have the head off, I would just need to unbolt the rod cap on #6 piston and push it out the top. Install is in the reverse. My origional question is can the oil pan be pulled with the engine in the car.
Again thanks for the reply any info I can gather is helpful.
