YES.

>2) Is it possible to replace the pushrod tube seals with the engine in.

YES. Unlike with a type 1 motor, doing this with the engine in is not difficult. You don't have to loosen the heads, etc. Refer to the Bentley or Haines manual. > >3) I imagine it's completely out of the question to replace the >oil cooler gaskets with the engine in, at least not without a LOT > of disassembly. True?

It depends on what you mean by a lot of disassembly. It is an afternoon's work. You have to remove the fan shroud, but that's about it.
