supporting the engine
 

i got some new motor mounts to switch out my old ones. i was wondering if there is a way to support the engine without using a hoist? would i be able to support my car with jackstands and use a floor jack to support the engine?

Yes

where would i place the jack?

right under the oil pan, but a piece of 2x4 between the jack and oil pan

it wont crush the oil pan?

nope

ok. cool. thanks.

Invasion is correct.

hopefully i will switch them out when i verify i have the correct engine mount bracket. the one i got does not match the one in the TSB for worn out mounts.

i have the F185-39-021 and the TSB calls for F1Y5-39-020.
