The upper oil pan is off. Unfortunately, no paint marker in the upper pan. I can partially see it here:
I knew it wouldn't do much, but I tried using a paperclip to push it up and over, but I eventually lost sight of it as it moved further towards the front.
To remove the front timing cover, I understand that the FSM says to remove the head. From what I have seen on MUD, it can be done without that, right? In addition to the steps for removing the upper oil pan, I would need to remove the rest of the mounting bolts for the AC compressor, all the timing cover bolts/nuts, and the 2(?) head bolts visible from under the valve cover (pictured below). Do I have that right? It does scare me a bit to remove those two...I have all orings & FIPG necessary for the front cover. Let me know if you have some wisdom to share. This has been a learning experience to say the least.
