I just recently got my car crunk and it blew my gasket out... its a 1 piece oil pan gasket its new so my ? is can I untighten the front pan bolts and re seal it or would i have to drop the whole pan...
 
pritty much the whole pan would have to be dropped. i JUST finished putting in a new one piece gasket and it was a PITA. if you can lift the motor off the mounts to get it out it makes it 100x easier. if not...well ill tell you to take yer starter out and get ready to be frustrated. i used the felpro 1 piece for my 307 sbc that came with all new bolts and lock washers. it also had these screw-in clips which helped ALOT. you screw them into the block where the 4 BIG olts go and the slide the gasket onto it and it clicks then the pan and it clicks so everything is lined up. then tighten up all the lil bolts and yer done. oh the gasket i have doesnt need any rtv.
 
no prob.
