Certainly not without lifting the engine somewhat, and by the time you undo the water hoses, engine mounts, etc, you are halfway to pulling it. If you try, you might want to look at how much of a gap there is between the top of the bellhousing and the firewall, as this could inhibit the lift.<div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Venting - I ended up with a 1” and a 1/2” hose on the valve cover and this cured most of the blow-by issues at the rear seal, etc. The 1/2” hose was not enough, so now there are two. Also tried a vent off the fuel pump mounting before the valve cover vents, but the pump cam slung so much oil in this direction that it didn’t work.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">If you are getting oil leaks at the front, that fun sealing block may be the issue.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><br class=""><div><div class="">On Jan 21, 2018, at 8:55 AM, Brian Schirano via Fot <<a href="mailto:fot@autox.team.net" class="">fot@autox.team.net</a>> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><div class=""><div class=""><div style="font-family:times new roman, new york, times, serif;font-size:16px;" class=""><div class=""><div class="">OK GT6 guys...</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Question... is it possible to pull the pan and change my gasket without pulling the engine?
