So i know that the lift points are good for jacking but where else is good? I was just wondering because i've heard some debate on a few spots and i need to jack up one wheel for valve adjustment and timing..
P.S. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif)h and i don't want to put too much pressure on my longs. |

I'd say get yourself some ramps.
At least to be safer. Mike |

The rear 'donuts' are good places. The front 'donuts' are not. Since you have a late model engine mount, you can use that.

I back mine up on the ramps, then raise one side enough to get a tire free and support the raised side (on the engine bar) with a jack stand. It gives me enough room to slide around beneath the car without worrying about it falling.
Just do a search for "Evil Jackstands" about Gints' close call. Mike |

My jack stands should be fine.. And i actually did the same thing with the ramps. it was already on them from the engine drop so i just jacked up the one wheel and used a jack stand on the engine bar. Thanks for the help though! |
