So, I am slowly planning on getting my motor dropped sometime soon. I have picked up a wooden floor dolly from Harbor Freight and have access to 2 floor jacks plus some jackstands as needed. I have been reading over the engine drop procedure over on the bird site:
http://www.pelicanparts.com/techarticles/9...engine_drop.htm When dropping the motor, the article describes that as you unbolt the motor it will drop about 1/2" on to your awaiting wooden dolly. So when putting the motor back in, how does one account for getting the motor lifted back up that 1/2"? Just muscle it in? Tiny floor jack? Note: I am your weekend warrior, kick the wife's car out of the garage, have hardly enough tools, and first time motor dropper. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

I can help with the actual drop...... I've done it a couple of times. Cheers! ps - I live in the north bay. Easy drive for me |
