I'm going to get a new one. I'm just trying to wrap my little mind around the fact that I have to do this, what it entails, what I need to do it, and make sure that I do It right.

check out this thread: https://ls1tech.com/forums/generation-iii-internal-engine/675343-rod-bolt-install-write-up.html
Its the write up to install new rod-bolts, which requires pulling the pan. Im my opinion this is the easiest way.

Can a new gasket simply be cut, let's say in the front, so that you don't have to drop the K-member? You can just wiggle the new gasket around the oil sump and so forth and then come back and add a small amount of gasket maker to the slice you made. Push the gasket together to minimize the gap and then tighten it up?
Right now I have several small dribbling leaks around the gasket and even if the new gasket were to leak a tiny bit were I cut it, it would still be better than what I currently have.
