Same here. Back in the days when i worked at a dealer, I did quite a few of these. Back then, sometimes the factory (or whoever assembled) would use that old style head gasket sealer brown paste stuff on the backside of the seal that was against the block. It almost made it impossible to get the seal out. After a few of these, we found that the factory had problems with the new style oil pans when they stamped them out and it wasn't a main seal problem at all.
