I would like to temporarily lower just to remove my airbox but unsure on how to properly do this without wrecking something.

If its just for temp repairs, its easy.
Support oil pan with 2x4 on a jack.
Remove the 4 nuts on the motor mount
Lower jack slowly.
You may run into the motor mount hitting the studs due to angle. If so, use i believe a 7mm socket to unscrew the motor mount studs.
As to the question of how I lowered the motor. I bought a m10 spacer and some longer studs and just added the spacer between the motor mount and the chassis with some hardened washers.
There is flex in the oil filler tube, but if you're concerned, just disconnect it at the motor end.
