Re: Motor Mounts - How to raise engine 700 1991

posted by  someone claiming to be S. Musson on  Mon Nov 5 16:03 CST 2001 [RELATED]

Not wanting to start a war here, but I seeem to recall from the last go-around on this topic that a brickboarder wrote in to say that it was not necessary to lift the engine at all, but all you had to do was take the load off and undo the bolts at the cross member and the top of the mount and slide the whole thing out. No muss no fuss, I think was the phrase they used.

I do recall that there were quite a few replies warning against the "jack it up on the oil pan" method, but also just as many saying they had done it and had no problems.

Sounds like it is a case of "Ya pays yer money and takes yer chances"

In my case, I pays my money to the dealer. Yes I know I'm going to get flamed regarding taking it to the dealer, but if I can spend a few dollars and have someone else do the work while I spend time with my family, it's more than worth it.
