Old topic, I know.

I have a barn find 69 that had the top end off of the engine when i purchased it. I have not removed the engine from the car but want to replace the pan gasket before I try to start it up for the first time. I would like to use this one piece gasket as I hate oil leaks in the garage.

Can you replace the oil pan gasket without removing the engine from the car? Is this even possible?
