Re: Water pump and raising/lowering engine

That's a bit late for me as I've had it (level) on the floorjack and wood block method for some time now. Also I don't have an engine support bar. There are quite a lot of youtube vids for similar models that use the jack and wood block, so I'm reasonably comfortable with that. As you would expect, ...
