I want replace my engine mountings & paint the mounting plate. I want to do this with the engine in place but do not have a hoist.
I am hoping to be able to do this by supporting the front of the gearbox with a jack & by placing a piece of timber under the front of the sump also supported by a jack.
Will the sump be man enough?
Or any better suggestions.

Hi Pete,
I am do this by supporting the front of the gearbox with a jack & by placing a piece of timber under.
Position is exactly under the red cross. take off the rubber before.

Nein Pete macht nur dellen in die Ölwanne.
No Pete making dent in the sump.

My 13B is sat on it sump, the weight of the engine should't really bend the sump.

If it's on a floor it's a bit of a secure spread loading on the sump, the sides give support as well.
With a jack and timber it's probably more point loading or loading in the centre of the sump?
