Jacking up the motor ? I am lifting my motor to do poly motor mounts. Last time I jacked up my motor from the ground I did not have exhaust on it now my headers and full exhaust are hooked up. I also had some fluid leak I think it was power steering it has not leaked ever again??? What what do i need to know when I do this? Any thing to watch out for?

Watch out for what is on the top/rear of the engien.. oil sensor is easly broken. The Map sensor can also be broke off (where the Vacumn for the power brake hose is).
Depends on how high your jacking it up.. just watch it as you do it a bit at a time as you get higher.

You probably already know this, but use phone books/2x4's to distribute the upward force more evenly.
I've always wondered whether it's better to go closer to the bellhousing, or closer to the crank pulley.
