Wow! This thread comes back from the dead after seven years.

How often do you plan to need to replace the oil pan gasket? Often enough that pulling (or at least lifting) the engine is a big deal? I could be wrong, but I'd be very surprised if any oil pan would have enough clearance around the crossmember that you could get the pan loose, let alone completely removed for gasket replacement.
