Timing chain cover removal
I did not remove the oil pan since the cylinder head is off. Looking for direction from someone who has done this before. I’ve not done an m54 but have done other motors. 2001 3.0 m54.

Are there two longer bolts that hold the oil pan to the front cover ?
There are two such bolts on the rear cover |

There are 4 bolts all the same length along the bottom of the timing cover on the right in the photo. The area looks like an oil slick from a grounded tanker. I have not loosened the AC bracket or the power steering pump yet.

In the broad daylight I found one more bolt. Cover is off, de-gooed and painted.
