Default Re: How can I support motor from above to change rod bolts?

what we do is support the engine up top with a device our shop is equipped with. It basically is 2 supports that sit on the strut towers (1 on each side) and a long tube that goes across to each strut tower brace and locks in that way. Then we have sliding j-hook adjusters that will sit on top of the cross bar and hook down to an area on the engine that is load bearing like an eyelet bracket like where you put the chain on on most other engines when you yank them. OR, you can use a 2" solid bar across the strut towers and make sure it won't slip and use traditional chains that way. Hope this helps? I work at the dealer so we have the tools to make life easier. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
