I got all the bolts out but now the pan is stuck solid to the block with the RTV gasket... I am hesitating on prying it with a screwdriver ...is there a safe way to remove it without damaging the gasket surface?   Brad Noviski (Bradnoviski) Member Username: Bradnoviski Post Number: 55 Registered: 02-2003 Posted on Tuesday, May 20, 2003 - 05:28 pm:    try sliding a stiff plastic scrapper in between. I used my 5 in 1 painter tool. good luck
