Stuck Oil Pan

Yes. I've never had to lower the oil pan to replace the timing chain cover gasket. Just trim the short oil pan gasket pieces that come in the timing chain gasket kit and be careful not to knock them off position when installing the cover.

You may want to trim the tits/nubs off the round gasket in the front of the pan after you use them to pull it into position as they get in the way of the two front oil pan bolts...
