I need to reseal the timing chain and oil pan, can the oil pan be removed with the engine in the truck? Looks like it's pretty tight fit between the front cross memeber at the oil pan. This is my faily driver right now so I don't want to get half way into the job and realize I'm screwed!

Going to replace the timing gears/chain and oil pump while I"m in there, who knows how old the ones in there are!

Thanks
honestly it can but its easier to take it out ar at least lift it im my opinion... the option is to drop the front end
