Lifting Engine Help

I think it would be easier to raise the engine, remove the pan and install a new one piece gasket to cure my major oil leaks.
My understanding is that you can jack up the engine under the pan as long as you use a large board to disperse the weight. Raising it 3-4 inches then support the engine under the motor mounts. Lower the jack, drop the pan install the gaskets...Voila!!!! Any other suggestion to this procedure? Should i still use silicone at the ends? etc etc etc.

thanks
