Possible to do engine mounts on a fox without....?
Possible to do engine mounts on a fox without an engine hoist? I have a set of energy suspension mounts that have been waiting around for over a year to be installed. Reason being I dont have an engine hoist. Is it safe/feseable to swap them out one at a time without a hoist by supporting the engine by the bottom some how? My current mounts are so cooked the engine just buckles around when i mash the gas or if im in real low rmp's and give it gas.
Thank! Marc L. |
put ablock of wood on oil pan and jack it up not safe but it works one at a time pain in the ass
|
It can be done, you have to do one at a time as mentioned above ^^
|
i would honestly recomend just getting a hoist... some arent really that expensive.. and never know might need it again later :tup

A hoist!! Are you guys nuts?? I`ve done them so many times,.... Put two stands under the A-arms to support the car,... then use a piece of wood under the CRANK PULLEY not the OIL PAN,... You could damage the pan,.... and jack up the motor as far as it will go,... when you feel a little resistance stop. thats the top of the tranny. Don`t worry. Motor mounts will come out easy,.. and with car jacked properly your perfectly safe. takes me about a half hour,.. It`ll take you longer cause you`ve never done it and you`ll be nervous. PM me with any questions I`ll help you.

Agreed,can be done with no hoist,all you need is jack stands,a pump jack,and some tools,you are golden.
Do as described above.:tup |
Or if you have one of these or know anyone who does. This makes life a little bit easier and quicker and safer.

I do it the crank pulley way also.
|
hmm well that's sweet. i've always pulled the engine.. but then again i was also usually replacing stuff like the crank, heads.. ect ect..
|
So the crank pulley is strong enough to the the weight/pressure of the motor, nice. just to confirm you guys are talking about the crank pulley and not the harmonic balancer right?
