True, but I still see what is a bad idea as just that. We had a customer follow the so-called "advice" source quoted above, only they used a bottle jack without anything to distribute the load ("Hey, no one told me not to do that!"). You can just imagine what that sump cover looked like when the car was flat bedded into the shop. They were all kinds of pissed off both at the source, and us because we refused to "Just weld up the hole.", or slather JB weld over it.

We only fix stuff the correct way, no short cuts, or cheap outs. And after a while, you get tired of fixing things that should have never been damaged in the first place.
