As always, there are a lot of ways to skin the proverbial cat here; the biggest problem I have found when doing this on the ground is stay out of your own way while doing it. Supporting the engine from above leaves the entire area under the car clear of obstructions, which is useful for getting the trans jack in and out smoothly, and leaves room for an extra pair of hands, etc. When I see people using stacks of wood or bottle jacks to support the engine, yes it works, but it is nowhere as simple as when you use an engine support bar…….
