Re: Motor Mounts - How to raise engine 700 1991

Waldo,

I rigged up a hillbilly way to change my mounts, and it's free.Jack your car up maybe three to four inches. Now , take a 2 by 4 approx 3-4 feet long and slide it down next to the engine to the ground, you just are getting an approx. length here, and what you want to do is cut it off so that you can wedge it under say the exhaust manifold on the pass. side, (or any solid engine part) and the intake manifold (closer to the block so as to not break anything) on the driver side, or again any good solid thing that won't snap off, then experiment around, as you SLOWLY jack the car down, you will see that the engine will raise enough to to get the mount off and the new one on. Do not raise the engine too high, just enough to get the mount out and in. I know this sounds stupid, but I have changed at least 10 mounts this way, with no problems, and you just have to keep fooling around with it and it will work. It is not near as difficult as it sounds.

The elusive goober.
