Short answer: yes. Did this last year on my BJ8. You will have to lift
the front of the engine a couple inches; detach the throttle linkage so
it doesn't get bent and IIRC I disconnected the frame->OD tie rod as
well. You'll probably need to jack under the pan--use a large piece of
wood to spread the load.
The most difficult task for me was getting the big nut on the pulley
undone; it's likely (should be) torqued on there to the tune of 150
ft-lbs or so.

<div>Hi guys, does anyone know if it?s possible to
replace the front pulley timing cover oil seal of a
Healey 3000 MkIII without removing the engine? It
looks like the front cross member might just prevent
the pulley from being removed. I had thought of
undoing the engine mounts and jacking up the engine so
the pulley is clear of the cross member. Is there
enough room to do this?</div>
