I read about Lucid and Fitzfitzgerald and changing the oil pan gasket in the 200 section also posted this there.

I have a 1994 940 I bought last week. I am replacing the rear main seal and have the transmission, ring gear and torque converter out, exhaust off, and after looking at the oil pan, I am fairly sure there are places rust is about to go through. I have been driving these Minnesota 940s (lots of rusty cars here) for many years and have never seen an oil pan so rusty.

I pulled one of the parts car engines today and pulled the oil pan after the engine was out, sandblasted it, and painted it with POR-15 and a red rustoleom. The transmission, exhaust, radiator, and a few other parts were already out of that car and I wasn't too concerned about saving the old hoses, etc.

Since I have the transmission out, do you folks know whether I can loosen the motor mounts and lift the engine up enough to replace the oil pan without dropping the rack and if I can, what else do I need to loosen so I can raise the engine enough? I plan on raising the engine with chains to the two engine mounts for that purpose and a tractor loader.
