When replacing the motor mounts. Where is a safe place to jack the motor up at?

Ive jacked mine up right behind the timing cover before and it worked fine. I used a bottle jack

i used the crank nose as a jacking point with a block of wood. right between the balancer and timing cover.

I've used a wide peice of wood on a jack under the sump in the pan. Caused no adverse effects to the pan or any leaks.

Hmm...I dont feel safe jacking it up on the balancer. So will the oil pan work? Or is that probly a no dice?

Ive also jacked on the balancer before. I did sit the engine down on the pan in a tores one time(out of the car) and when I turned the assy over the crank rubber(stroker), I hit it a few licks with a rubber mallet and it fixed it.

So the balancer in the front with the belt on it is a safe place to jack it up at then? Idk the car has 108k and dont want to mess up any main bearings or nothing. Dont have the $ to fix somthing of that sort.

I recommend using the tranny as your jacking point.
