RE: oilpan gasket
Well then ,I guess you have QUITE the oil pan leak lol. Yeah, it might be a good idea to jack up the motor a bit so you can clear the cross memeber. And I would also advise you to use the rubber one piece gasket instead of the ****ty corque one.

RE: oilpan gasket
i put mine on my friend's lift and we dropped down the k member to change it out. you either have to jack the motor up or drop the k member down, there's really no other wat to do it. its a b*tch, good luck.

RE: oilpan gasket
It may so it doesnt require sealant but there was one of those in our car and it was leaking. I changed it our for a 4 peice on from Mr Gasket and siliconed it and I aint had any leaks out it it. All I had to do was lift the motor a little with a cherry picker so I could get my hands around the pan.

RE: oilpan gasket
lift until something feels like its binding, seriously.
you'll still need little dabs of permatex (i prefer ultra copper but pretty much any of them will work) on each side of the gasket where it meets up with the main cap/block and in the front in the same places.
at the least, do it on each side where i circled in red, even better would be a thin coat on each side everywhere circled in blue
