JimSmith,

I replaced the second motor mount today. Now that I know what I'm doing it took about 1 hr.

The 300D is smooth as silk. It is an amazing difference

Thanks so much for your help. When you come to next Spring's NJ/CT/NY/PA/OH Diesel meet, the coffee and bagel's are on me.

Thanks

JCD

Great to hear the job is all done and went well. Looking forward to the meet in the Spring. Jim

so you can put the 2x4 on the actual OIL PAN to lift the engine out ?

Thanks

Yes. Make sure it it is at least as wide as the oil pan.

Ohmigosh, you just resurrected a three year old thread.... But to answer your question, YES, put the block of wood directly on the oil pan, with your floor jack under it, and lift away.
