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.
