It took about 45 minutes, but we pushed the car onto the lift last night. We needed to jack the rear up to put it on blocks so that it would roll over the center plate of the lift, then we needed to jack each individual corner to put blocks under each wheel, so the lift arms could get under the car. This is MUCH easier when I can just drive the car onto blocks.

I did a quick look under the car, there is oil dripping from the air filter housing.
-Looking under the car, there is a hole in the bottom of the air box, can anyone else confirm that this is open to atmosphere? It looks like I can see the clean side of the filter.

The heads/ gaskets / mating areas look good, block and heads are dry.

Tonight or Thursday I'm going to pull the plugs out and inspect, and also pull the intake tubing and throttle body.
