I’ve never done it.  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.

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.

If you are getting oil leaks at the front, that fun sealing block may be the issue.

OK GT6 guys...

Question... is it possible to pull the pan and change my gasket without pulling the engine? Looks pretty tight and I expect the oil pump pick up snorkel will be the problem.
Is a partial lift possible to do this?

It looks like it's pushing oil out of the pan, it's definitely not the timing chain cover (that's what I thought last year and changed that). 

2nd question, if it's pushing oil out the front of the pan (or anywhere from pan I suppose), I'm thinking I need more crankcase vent? and maybe get around this problem short term that way?

Let me know, making garage work plans/list of things to do, for when winter breaks early March

Thanks
