yeah I was going to do the same when I swapped timing chain and gears for my car.
I was also going to change the oil pump.
Yeah you cant get that pan off without pulling the motor up.
we tried everything to get it out with the motor in the car.
no go.
I did manage to put the new oil pan gasket on.
YES, I did get it under the oil pump! LOL!
Talk about a tricky job!sigpic
