Default Oil pan Gasket

I will need to drop the oil pan in order to tap it for the oil feed line for the turbo. Is the gasket pretty inexpensive? Also, will I have a problem removing the oil pan with motor still in the car?

There is a lower and upper oil pan and there is no gasket....just liquid grey gasket maker. If you remove the lower black oil pan that will give you access to the area where the tap has to be placed in the upper aluminum oil pan and allow you to keep shavings out of the motor. That is the only portion of the pan that can be removed without either lifting the motor out of the car or dropping the front suspension/subframe.

I HIGHLY recommend Honda Bond. That stuff is toxic, and harsh smelling. I think it has some type of super-glue in it. It's try much faster than anything else I have used, and makes an AWESOME seal.
