Had quite a bit of progress tonight. It was easier to lift the engine than I thought. I am hoping to have enough clearance to change the oil baffle, too; we'll see.
My brother asked me why I don't consider the engine mounts now that the engine is lifted. Very good question. BMR's new engine mount is claimed to have LITTLE TO NO AFFECT TO NVH. If this is true, it would be an amazing addition to my mods list. Has anyone installed one of those? I'll ask the question in 1LE section, too.
The engine mount I'm considering:
Screwed the strut bar bolt back to keep the engine support bar (cradle) from slipping.
Front sways installed at softest setting.
Feels like I can jack this engine up as much as I want; crazy. The lift also makes life much easier.
Engine support bar installed while the engine is at stock height. I will re-adjust and re-tension it once the engine is jacked up tomorrow.
The grease port did not thread on well. I used a liberal amount of threadlock, hoping it would keep it there. Even then, I don't think I'll ever use it since it might break off and piss me of when I attempt to use it with the grease gun.
The BMR sway (SB038) feels less than half as heavy as the stock bar. Stock bar is just insanely heavy.
