In the process of fixing oil pan leak... I used Hi-Tack to put the cork gasket on the pan. How the heck do I get that off? Anybody know of anything that eats Hi-tack? If I would have used the cheap stuff it would come right off. Also determined that I'll have to jack the engine up a little after all

Hope this comes thru, got that GD illegel string again which offsets everything, sure wish they would fix it or go back to the original browser.
In the first place you should NEVER have used a cork gasket on the pan. If you haven't tried to take the gasket off yet leave it alone. if you have a leak just try and tighten the bolts a little. If you have started to take the gasket off, I guess proceed with it.
It's best to completely remove the pan, jack the engine up and support it, if you have an engine hoist use that, hook on to the engine lift rings topside.
Drop the pan and unbolt the oil pump, that will have to come out with the pan. The pump suction sticks down in the pan 11".
Now the only thing I can think of to cut the glue is Acetone, available at any paint store by the quart or gallon.
Someone else may know something else.To reseal the pan use only RTV, the Copper RTV is best, be sure and seal around the front and rear real good. Don't put so much on that it will squish inside, let the RTV dry for a few minutes to form a crust on it before installing. If you have a few long bolts (3") that fit, cut the heads off, screw them in the block to act as guides for the pan.
