[s-cars] Timing Belt, Valve Cover, RS2 Turbo, IC Cleaning, and New Motor Mounts

[Young, Steve]

If you un-bolt the snub mount from the block, you can jack the engine up
enough to replace both mounts at the same time.

D-

It is very easy to change the motor mounts even without pulling off the
front end.  Put the front up on jack stands or ramps.  I find it easier
to
use jack stands because I can pull off the wheels if I need to.   For
your
first time I would pull the wheels so you can have more angles on the
right side to get to the the top nut.

The left is a piece of cake- just remove the nuts and slightly lift the
motor up with your floor jack-do not jack up much or you start fighting
the front mount.

The right top nut is slightly awkward so I use one of those flat
ratcheting closed end wrenches you can buy everywhere.
