Hey everyone. I'm trying to get my 244 ready for driving. Been doing lots of maintenance on it.

My motor mounts are garbage, engine rolls dangerously far when I let off the clutch and if I try to engine brake. I'm going to drive through a windy highway road with lots of flatlanders.


Anyway, can I safely change the engine mounts by lifting the oilpan just enough to take the weight off the mounts with a floor jack, cushioned by a 2x4?
Am I going to go right through the oilpan? Is the pan cast, or forged?

Has anybody done it and screwed something up, or done it and been just fine?

Thanks
William
