Default Oil Pan cracked slamming into crossmember - 1992 Accord LX Wagon with F22B1 Swap


rear firewall mount

passenger side

drivers side



My questions:
Which motor mount most likely is shot if the oil pan is hitting the crossmember?
Do I want mounts specific to the Engine (94-97), or to the car (90-93)?
I'm going to pull an oil pan at the junk yard. Based on what I've been seeing I can use any 94-97 accord VTEC or non-VTEC, is that right?


While trying to source parts for the exhaust I made my oil pan crack worse. I now know the crossmember is slamming into the oil pan, or the other way around. I went over a pretty rough pot hole so assuming it is from that.

Suspension in the front is definitely worn out but it doesn't sound/feel shot. The motor mounts however I know are shot. When I let go of the gas it slams hard. Like really hard. It is definitely the cause of the exhaust ripping through the flex pipe and loosening the manifold.

I've never changed mounts or had this issue before so I am trying to figure out which one to replace for optimal effect. I did replace the front torque mount as it was completely shot and right in front of my face. I'm on a shoe string budget so I'm hoping if I replace just one mount I can prevent the next oil pan from slamming and keep the exhaust from ripping apart.





The engine easily can be moved up and down. I'm guessing the mount at the transmission (passenger side?) and the one under the intake is most likely the culprit, however the engines hitting the crossmember on the passengers.

Of course when they swapped the engine and put in a new resonator exhaust (really annoying with a leaking exhaust) they didn't bother with new mounts and destroyed everything.

Any advice appreciated.

Off to the junk yard for the pan.
