That engine support bar looks slick. Prices on it range from $50 to $140, so shop around if you're going to buy one.
I love a good excuse to buy a new tool! Thanks again JFP!

FYI: I bought the OTC 4324 Stinger Engine Support Bar ($89.99) - wish I had bought a smaller one, this one didn't fit into the gutter around the engine, so I had to cut up some wood to raise it up, and it slipped when I was trying to get it into position, giving me a dent.

How high does the car actually have to be lifted?

While the answer, “as high as possible” may sound a little trite; it is correct. I’ve seen it done on jack stands with 11” max extension height, which is a little low for me. The higher up the car is, the more room you have to work in…….
