oil pan

My oil pan gasket is leaking its the blue felpro 1pc gasket. I put it on with the engine out. Can I take it down with the k member in the way. Or do I have to undo the motor mounts and push the engine up

Re: oil pan

If your engine mounts aren't sagging too much, you can get the pan out if you turn the crank so the front counterweights are out of the way.

It's a lot easier if you pull the mount bolts and raise the engine up a little, though.
