Hi, looks like the front engine mount bolts are still on and thus the mount is used as the pivot point. Where do you place the jack to lower the assembly? The differential in the transmission?

[scottmaggie]

Used an engine jack with a wood board to give as much support as possibly to the whole assembly. Only really needed to lower it a couple of inches.


PS: If I didn't post it before - be sure to check the wheel alignment when done with this project.

Great post, I didn't see how you will reprogram your bigger MAF sensor housing?

Nice technique!! Were there any precursors to this sequence? Other items to unbolt prior to starting.

I am surprised that the whole assembly can pivot on the front mount and not interfere with the studs

Great info, I will put in the 987-box this winter..
However I´m also about to change the front engine mount. Do you think that the same trick (lowering the engine to switch airbox) can be done by lowering the engine in the front while the front engine mount is removed during the switch?

I know, I need to get off my computer and get going in the garage..

They write up was pretty much it. A-Z. Definitely needed to get a wheel alignment after

Fabspeed will be doing the reprogramming in the spring.
