As long as we're talking pan gaskets and replacing pans, I'll throw this out. When I replaced the oil pump in my Corvette, the pan gasket set came with four slick springy plastic pins that held the pan up. Just screw 'em in, slide the pan up on them, and they will hold it up and allows you to put the rest of the bolts in. After that, replace the pins with the last 4 pan bolts, tighten 'em up and you're good to go. The nice thing is that being 5/16-18, they fit flatheads, too.
