If you are not doing the job on a hoist, then you can support the engine from below with a floor jack or jackstand (or two) as long as the weight is spread out. You could always buy an engine bar and then sell it on FBMP or Craigslist for most of what you paid for it.


Email me if you want some of the manual pages.
