motor mounts
motor mounts So i've got a set of poly motor mounts to put in, i keep seeing differing opinions about the best way to do this job with the motor still in the car. I have jackstands, and a good floor jack.
I'm seeing suggestions to:
-jack up on the crank hub
-put a 2x4 under the oil pan and jack up on that
-jack up on the bell housing of the tranny
but i'm not seeing any real consensus.
How did you guys do it, and did the way you did it cause any problems?

I personally have done the 2x4 under the oil pan and on the bellhousing in my car, both work good. I would NEVER jack up the motor by the balancer, that's a good way to possibly bend your crank.

Never jack up any car... by the crank hub. Whoever told you that should be drug out into the street kicked in the nuts and shot.
The 2x4 trick on the bell housing and oil pan will work just fine to install mounts.
