Hi fellow 986ers,

First post - thanks for letting me join.

I have been going through the engine on my 986 and have had it on the lift (QuickJack) for several months with the support members off the bottom of the engine (supported by an engine support bar). I was just showing it to a plumber and telling him about what I’ve been doing with it. He mentioned that you shouldn’t open the doors when it’s on the lift because it can bend the frame. I hadn’t heard this before but I was wondering if anyone on here can corroborate that? Hoping I haven’t inadvertently messed up the car! 😬

Thanks!

Aaron
