    Finally it's in

    Not bad, I got the motor in, in 45 minutes by myself after the motor being out of the car for the last 3 years. My only concern was the motor losing its balance on the jack and not having an assistance to spot the motor. Otherwise it all went fairly easily for my first time. Thanks to all who gave me advice along the way...

    Bummer. Next time, ask to borrow the ATV lift I bought at Harbor Freight on Victory and Fallbrook! It made balancing the engine a no brainer when I did the 912 engine.

    That's funny as I went to Harbor Freight to look at one and considered purchasing it. In the end I couldn't justify the $200 purchase for a one time usage. I wish I had known you had one.

    So to protect the muffler from denting, put the engine on the jack without the muffler on the engine. then all you have to worry about is denting the $1000 heat exchangers if the engine falls off the jack ! Chris
