Lowering Engine

[Robbbyg]

Ive looked in the forums but cant find the way to just LOWER the engine, i dont want to take it out just lower it enough to remove the airbox and possible cis for servicing,
In the porsche projects book its about an 8 hour job..with everything including the clutch disconnected.

Is there an easy quick way????

Any links or howto's pls post !!

Remember when The guy said to the Bartender ?
That aint Bourbon...

If a Porsche felt embarrassment im sure yours would be red down to the sway bars
Never thought id feel pity for a car,
Thank god there's still a few nice ones around


Double sacrilege to deform such a rare beast


PORSCHE THERE IS NO SUBSTITUTE.
Those with passion for Porsches understand that

This site needs a section where hackjobs and hotrods can post, and keep the Porsche forums pure for people with real Porsches ?

All you have is a shell and a badge or two, even they are probably painted, modified, cut, stretched and deformed


That aint Bourbon

This is not a Porsche Thread


My 2 cents

Don't let the door hit you on the way out...

Thx Fingers crossed

Why would you attempt to perform a partial engine drop to remove the air cleaner and CIS? That's like performing brain surgery to cure a headache. All that stuff comes out easily with the engine in the car.
Even if you end up dropping the engine and transaxle out to do something like replace the sound pad, it's pretty simple to do; it's not the pain in the butt like dropping the powertrain on a 964 Turbo is (power steering and hydraulic clutch to deal with).

All done, i dropped it a few inches no problem.
Time taken to drop engine = under 60 seconds

Also needed to check that all the lines are secure, had to check as i undid 60 percent of vacuum lines that i could reach with no tools, fingers only, so it was important

Secondly need to clean, replace anything wrong

Thirdly cos i F#%$ing wanted to!

Today is free advise day...You asked for advise and throw this out because you don't like one of the responses?

I'm sure there will be even more folks lined up to answer your next question.

Sometimes comments are made without reading the original question as in this case..

Ive never lowered an engine before, Uncle pointed out it was only two bolts.

Then a comment was made about it being difficult and likened it to brain surgery?
Id hate to change a tire then,Will i need a 4 year Degree for that?


Secondly My reply ended with a smiley...
A smiley indicates the writers view/emotion at time of writing..

Ill explain

This means COOL, meaning Im Cool

Hope you now understand the context.

<------( Thats a grin cos im finding your post even funnier.

Glad you can see the humor in my post...that was the intent. I guess I have seen the passing of the glory days on PP when people were grateful for input from others, or at least courteous to differences in opinions. Seems the trend these days is the throwing flames and slamming people.

TGIF
CHEERS!

Well said.
Funny how I find myself posting less and less over here due to incivility and the constant d**k measuring contests.

First thing I thought when I read the post was why the f**k would you want to lower the engine to take off the air box.
Obviously I wasn't the only one. You got an appropriate response given the question asked.
There are allot of incredibly knowledgeable and talented people (fewer all the time) here that take the time to answer our questions. Seems to me that's the case here.
That's your thanks? Not so IMHO
A little humility goes along way

I get the impression that Robbbyg is a very young man - the latest and greatest generation - and while attending his classes in "cockiness", missed his classes in "good manners".

What he ^ said.

Ahhh I just worked out who you are.. I've edited my first post to suit. You might recognise the quote..

[Oheggem]

Lowering the engine give alot more room to work and takes abouts 60 seconds as Robby found out. I guess just loosen the rear engine mounts will do it.

I did NOT think Robby was rude or didn`t show enough respect to the elders here. He was clearly joking and having a good mood is 10 times better than having this "kiss my hand like the pope" act before someone answers. Everyone has asked "stupid" or easy questions that others disagree with, help out or just don`t bother. That is what this forum is for!!!!

I see this all the time and really gets to me. Smile! Answer the best you can! Open a beer!!!!

The post quoted by Uncle is sacrilege of English! Talk about kettle calling the pot black.
