Needing info
I have a 1982 Corvette with a oil leak coming from the oil pan. I want to change the oil pan gasket myself. Is it necessary to pull the engine to change the gasket or is it completely accessible without loosening the engine. I'm a novice when it comes to this, but want to get my hands dirty.

In the rare event that the pan is loose but refuses to come out, just jog the IGN key. The pan is hung-up on one of the front counterweights.
This is an excellent opportunity to change out the Rear Main Seal, Oil Pump & pump shaft if you so desire. |
Timing chain too. Cam?

You guys have been very helpful. I appreciate all of you.
