good news and bad news. I can't take the chain off from the cam. Even after loosening the pump. I had to drop the pan. Good news It was super easy dropping the pan. I unbolted the engine mounts (1 bolt on either side). Stacked some washers / nuts let engine down... drop pan.. I did loosen all 8 cradle mounts, don't know if that gave me any more room... I have BMR mounts. So once again did not take anything off like headers etc, just stuff attached to the pan. Loosen two bolts jack engine, put nuts / washers on so the mount will not drop down. Pan off, I could use the electric gun on all up facing bolts too.. well not the one under the electric steering so that added 60 seconds.
