Lifting Motor for Motor Mount Install

[Wallace Geiger]

Just got my car back from Dealer getting motor and trans maintenance brought up to date after many years of neglect. I have motor mounts to put in place and cannot find an article I saw about lifting the engine using an eye bolt and a 4x4 across the engine compartment. Does anyone remember seeing that article and where I can find it? So far this low mileage Euro 928 S is consuming more dollars than expected, but it now runs correctly, the automatic shifts as designed and the radiator cools, all things it didn't do when I first got it. Around every corner there surfaces a new challenge, warning lights, windows that don't open and the like. Glad I am not attempting to use it as transportation. Would certainly appreciate a response if someone remembers the article. Thanks

Check the various sites. A number of posts around on this subject.

I followed Dwayne's setup too.



You can make your own very easily. Just measure carefully before you cut anything. Then once you have one cross-beam assembled, place it over the engine and push down hard so you make an imprint of the bolts along the fenders on the bottom, then drill holes here so the cross-beam will sit flat and won't slide around.

That is the one I saw, thanks for the information from all, I'll get started on that project this weekend.
