well im doing a head/cam swap and took off my timing chain cover and in the process my oilpan gasket stretched and moved position a little. can i just loosen up the oil pan bolts and have it slide in to place? or is there enough room for me to unbolt the pan and slide a new gasket in there without removing the engine? please help

Go to autozone and get a timing chain cover gasket set for your car. I believe it comes with a new "half moon" gasket and side gaskets for that part of the oil pan. I would start with that and maybe touch it up with some black RVT silicon. Good luck

it moved from between the block and the oil pan, not the timing chain dip. i went out to check it this morning hoping it may have slid back in place from tension, but nope
