Lifting the front of my '34 engine
I am replacing the front engine mount pads on my '34 and to remove the upper pad I assume it will be necessary to raise the engine by possibly as much as 1/2". Can I just put a board across the front of the oil pan and jack it up or is something else needed. Thanks, Bill

Re: Lifting the front of my '34 engine
I am going to do this real soon. It seems on the 1937 85hp that suspension pieces are in the way of the front of the pan. Might have to jack up a little further back. Or maybe put the board under the front of the pan and use a bottle jack up through the and in between the suspension parts? Any body do it this way?

Re: Lifting the front of my '34 engine
As noted, best to raise one at a time the minimum required, with what ever devices and blocking that's needed. Primary concern: Avoid over-stressing/loading the rear part of the engine, especially the bell housing and transmission case. Two sets of hands better than one.

Re: Lifting the front of my '34 engine
Jacking up the front of the engine you might want to consider removing the fuel pump stand from hitting up against firewall from possible damage. Or at least keep an eye on the filler tube while jacking up engine.

Re: Lifting the front of my '34 engine
Is the fan close to the top tank of the radiator? (It is on my '33)
You might have to slide the generator down for clearance. |
