Re: Motor Mounts - How to raise engine 700 1991

Wally: I guessed you missed the back-and-forth started by some poor soul who had followed directions given here on how to jury-rig a from-the-bottom

engine raising device; CAUTION: avoid most car-related ideas that begin with the words:"pressure-treated lumber." He tried to raise his car using the oilpan as the focal point for a lot of upward energy and a lot of downward gravity...it evidently was not a happy result. There ARE devices for lifting the engine from the top: you need one, or maybe two of them. They are VERY sturdy sguare steel tubes that span your open engine compartment , using hooks that attach to lift-brackets on your engine, the lifting caused by a screw that lifts the hook, and the engine follows. S'pose you could find a place that rents them, dunno know for sure. Lots of community colleges have 'driveway/shadetree' mechanic courses, a great way to meet other DIYers, AND make some tool-lending buddies...or is that an oxymoron? Whatever you do, BE CAREFUL. Good Luck --PD.
