Title: How do i support the engine?
Post by: dthebuk on April 04, 2009, 11:09:13 AM
Right, taking the Transmission of and ive been told that i need to support the engine engine, by pushing it backwards (towards the transmission?

Ive had a play around with some bits of wood etc but nothing seems to be any good. Is there anything that i should take off to make life easier, or any places that are good supporting it ? Any pics would be great btw :D

Oh, its an FC


Thanks :D

You want to prop it against the front - either side of the radiator if you can get to that part - anywhre where this is some strength - front bulkhead  If you\'re car stilll has most of the goodies in the engine bay, or the tubular cross brace at the front.
