Won't that tear the gasket ? How do you re-seal it? Don't you need to apply permatex

Of course by the time you go through the trouble of dropping the front of the pan, you could have spent another 15 minutes and simply removed it.
More than one person that's dropped the front of the pan has bent the rear corners and then found that they have a nice oil leak upon reassembly. How lucky do you feel?

Take the extra couple minutes to remove the pan. When I did my cam swap it only took me one afternoon and I changed the gasket on the pan.
