sure , but taking pan off, you break the factory RTV seal. (hard to do, that, if still there) its like glued tight. (and never leaks until someone fiddles it)
the front seal is on the pump. and the pump has metal seals. with paper seals there, most leak (nonstock seals do that)
and if 1996 car? you cant use cork gaskets on the pan, or the CKP goes Dead. (or worse flakey) due to the standoff error.....
is your car G16a or b engine? and year.
at any head pull lots of junk ends up in the pan. and some can suck through that very large pump screen pickup tube.
and if it lands in the bearings, bad news... my guess is the filter will get that, but im too sure on the head. i dont know the gallery feeds to the head very well.
