Oil pan? You talking about changing the oil pan gasket while the motor is still in the car? I'd suggest using a 1 piece gasket. Provide us more info.

Yes, it's possible. You'll have to unbolt the motor mounts and get the motor up a few inches though to make it easier. Harbor Freight makes a engine support bar.

I don't know about changing the gasket in the car... sounds like a pain!
I do know however that I will second the 1 pc pan gasket suggestion!
They are awesome. So much better than fighting with regular pan gaskets.
