Would some heat melt some of that sealant, without lighting the engine =
on fire of course?  Use a heat gun not a touch.

Otherwise, or in addition to that, I=E2=80=99d think a thin putty knife =
and a hammer to tap along the seam may be your best bet to break that =
seal and not mangle the pan trying to pry it off.

Good luck and let us know how it goes.

Thanks, Jerry;

There is remarkably little space to maneuver, especially while I'm lying on
my back. I have tried using a heat gun and, while the theory was sound, in
practice the engine block is a HUGE heat sink. Getting a putty knife to
even get a tiny "foothold" has been a big challenge, as there aren't that
many places where a hand holding a putty knife can reach up to the lip of
the oil pan. I haven't [yet] even been able to penetrate the mating
surfaces with a razor blade.

In the future, I will think twice before using the Right Stuff on an oil
pan.
If I ever need to remove it, I'll remember it's quite the chore!

Dave

Permatex is a pretty reputable company.  Perhaps a call or email to their
tech service team might give some good tips?

so you siliconed your pan in place? yep...will be a bitch.

As you mentioned little to no room...  you can use a paint can 
opener...looks like a beer bottle opener at one end, and a tiny crowbar 
at the other.
You can use a piece of wood ( suggest a 1x2" piece of oak, any big box 
store) wedged between frame and the back side of the opener as you 
wiggle the mini crowbar end  into the groove between pan and block, 
working your way around little by little ... using the wood the force 
the crowbar end into the groove.

option 2...  use the wood and a heavy trapezoid shaped utility knife 
blade (no handle) and wedge the blade in to cut the silicone. (be 
prepared to break a few tips so have a couple on hand)

Next build.... gasket on a very flat table, silicone on the 
gasket,,,then gently sit the pan on the gasket and let it sit to set 
up.  This leave a flexible and very flat surface. Blue Hylomar on the 
gasket to block surface, then torque to spec. EASY to remove and should 
never leak   BTDT for 40 years now or 10's of cars with none ever leaking.
