Replacing my clutch and flywheel, and the manual states I need to support the engine either with a hoist or with a jack on the oil pan (which I would really rather not do).

However, I am not seeing any good mount points on the engine for my hoist. Is there something I am missing here? I've only lifted an engine a few times on a 3000gt and it had built in mounts, essentially.

 

no need to... changed many of them without touching the motor

 

Cool, yeah, I figured the main reason was probably just not to put too much stress on the motor-mounts, but I wasn't sure just how far it would sag. Thanks!

 

Hmm... just changed my clutch and FW too but didn't see that in the FSM. The engine sure moves easily on the mounts when the transmission isn't on, but it doesn't 'sag'. I don't think the oil pan made contact with anything though. I don't think it is really necessary, just be careful.

 

Cool, not sure if it is in the FSM, I am using a Chilton manual. I have a FSM but it is split up where each section is a separate poorly labeled PDF (such as 'dl.pdf' for the drivetrain) so it is a huge pain in the *** to use, lol
