Default Answer already posted below- just drill holes in pistons to let oil drain into crankcase.

Default I think those 2.7T guys are used to seeing the first step in the Bentley for all...
engine related work:

STEP 1: Remove Engine

Default Yes.
This is but one of the reasons I bought a C4 car, instead of a B5 S4.

It does have a certain rhythm to it.

Also, more holes=lighter=faster!

Default Almost true . . .
First step is remove bumper, then drop sub-frame, ... and then ... drop engine.

Default Don't laugh I have to do this job on my A6 next weekend
Keeping in mind I replaced entire head without dropping anything on the UrS4, it's just painful to think of 4hr job to do the valve gaskets on just one side of a V6

But in reality the guy is wondering if he should do other work while doing the gaskets
