I have the original base small block engine with presumably the original oil pan and and it is leaking around the edges. I have tightened the bolts but am afraid to apply too much torque for fear of snapping one off. Can the pan be removed without lifting the engine? The pan has some nice dents on the bottom and I am thinking that the edge is out of square, or I am just in need of a new oil pan gasket? I'm thinking of buying a new pan and gasket but would need to do the job with the car on jack stands--is this possible (or necessary)? All relevant thoughts would be much appreciated.
