Rebe, I haven't done it yet, as it has been too hot/humid here in CT. With that said, it is real simple. Undo the motor mount bolts (2) underneath first, place a floorjack under the oil pan with a piece of wood between the two. Undo the bolts on the top of the mounts, and then gently/slowly raise the engine, until you can remove the mounts.

With that said there are alot of cautions to this. Watch the radiator hoses to ensure they don't get ripped off. There is enough wiggle room in all the hoses and lines attached to the engine, to move the engine a bit. You also have to detach the fan shroud.

The only reason I posted the question is because it had been so long since I have done this, I wasn't too sure if that method was being used for the more "modern" cars.

After posting the question, I found and looked at the service manual for the 201 on line, oddly for the 4 cyl engines, it said to use an engine hoist, but for the 6 cyl, to use a block of wood.

Every engine/chassis has it's own methods, I guess. Which car/engine do you have?
