The shocks come out without lifting the engine. The Shock mounts are expensive for what you get. There are threads on taking them apart and filling with Flexane. I did that and the mounts are working fine after ~1 year.

I posted recently about engine mounts collapsing and letting the PS pump damage the oil cooler lines. There are instructions regarding filling them to prevent the collapse. I'm going to do that as soon as I get my water pump replaced.
