Does anyone here know if it is possible to remove the oilpan without loosening the complete engine?
I am missing the head from a M6 bolt of the starter gears. Theese bolts must have loosened, because they are broken, and one head is missing.I guess it is in the oilpan..

you will have to pull the motor out of the chassis , and just taking off the lower half you will not be into the main bolts . hope that helped you

It's not in the oil pan, no way it could get Down there. More likely Down at the cam Chain gears at the crank shaft.
I recommend you pull the head and use a magnet. If you cannot locate the missing bolt head I recommend you pull the motor out and apart if you are positive that the head of the bolt is inside Your engine.

I can tell everyone that it is possible to take the oilpan off, and it is possible for the bolthead to fall down there.. because i have taken mine off today, and i found the bolthead in there too 
There is a hole behind the flywheel where you can see down in the oilpan, but i did not reach down long enough with a magnet.

Did you have to remove the engine from the chassis or can it be done in place?
