Since this could be a problem with just about any vehicle, I would maybe use a metal scraper and try to tap it in between block and pan all around. Maybe heat the scraper up to melt any old RTV or gasket which was used.

Have you ever heard the saying, "If it seems too good to be true, it probably is"?
There's another saying, "If it seems like there's still a bolt holding it on, there probably is."
I know zip, nil, nada, about that engine. But, I'd say you need to look harder before you break something. It may be "glued", I really don't know.
The
part is, "3rd gen topics only, please." (It at least has to be 3rd gen relate-able.)
If someone reads this and knows the answer, they can PM you.
