pulling 292 need help asap

[WATSON403]

Ok so I need to lift up my motor to drop the oil pan because the oil pressure relief valve is stuck closed I've unbolted. The motor mounts andnothing just wondering if anyone has any info on the subject

You can only lift the engine about 2 inches without having to unbolt the rear mounts. Also you have to bring the number 1 cylinder to TDC so the front of the pan will clear the crank and connecting rod. Talk with Sharps40(Rich)..he'll be able to tell ya quite a bit on the subject. By the way..did you call?

[padresag]

did you undo the rear ones to?

If the front and rear mounts are disconnected, there shouldn't be anything but clutch linkage that could hold you up.

Ya they were pretty easy to get off but as I was taking them off i was thinking this isn't gunna be fun puttin these back

[padresag]

they all go back in relatively easy if one knows what they are doing. look at it ; realize how it goes together; what sort of shape are the mounts in. are the collapsed or falling apart and you are putting them back in that way. collapsed mounts change the relationship on how the thing bolts together if you have the engine weight sitting on the mount. the height of a new insulator will change the angle of the bolt in relation ship to the hole in the b/housing

Ya I ended up having to pull the rear mounts should be fun putting them back in

[padresag]

on all of your mounts just have the bolts in by finger , don't tighten until you have them all started so if you have to adj the engine a hair , you can. rear mounts just have the bellhousing close without weight on the insulator so the if you have to move the engine a bit , so it is easy to do. do not tighten one side and then try and install the other side. start the bolts in the frt mounts first
