lifting with jack under oil pan

To jack up the motor, I used a section of 4x4 lumber about 18 inches long. Thicker would have been better. I inserted a couple of thin wedges of wood between the block and the pan to make sure most of the load went into the pan at the edges, instead of in the middle.
