175K miles on the 245, tried to change the oil filter and the engine was resting on it. Luckily the filter hadn't been crushed yet and the replacement Mobile1 filter was a lot shorter so I'm not in horrible shape yet.

Got the mounts from FCP, planning on doing it Sunday. I only got the motor mounts, but after reading around I'm wondering if I need to change the transmission mount(s?) as well.

I was also told that I could use a small hydraulic jack inside the engine bay to push the engine up and sideways from the mount, making it pretty easy to change, but haven't seen anything like that on here so far. But I do have access to a regular engine hoist as well, so I'm thinking that's the way to go.

Should I expect any nasty suprises or anything like that? Any specific tips that really stand out in anybody's mind that I should know?

Thanks for the help!!!
