^^^+1, wood is your friend Helps alot especially when you have to lift or support an engine without damaging it.

 

if you mean under the oil pan, i've also
heard you can use a telephone book and
because if deforms a little, it may not put
a crease in the pan....

i haven't tried it personally, but it sounds
reasonable....

 

Where Pascal shows is where I put my jackstands, I just couldn't get my floorjack back that far and actually crank it to lift w/o hitting the side skirt. So I rolled up on the ramps, then slid the jack in and cranked it about 3" more and put the jack stands there. I guess in the future I could use that little crease where the side skirt is that they say you should use with the stock jack for changing a tire. I used 3 pieces of rubber taped on to avoid metal to metal damage on anything.

Finally got the Pypes O/R H in and it sounds good! Its loud and lopes quite a bit low but a t WOT its like a stock car I'm hoping some of the hollow metal sound goes away as they break in some.

 

The picture on the right...I take it the frame-shaped place that looks double-layered is safe for jack stands?

 

If you look at page one, the 3rd part down very close to the mid is that.

 

Hammer... Do you plan to keep your motor mounts for long?
I wouldn't advise jacking up from under the pan, man.
