Engine Pad Replacement

Out with the old

As is common, my 993's engine pad was in sad shape.  There is no easier time to replace it than when the engine is out...

993 Engine Drop: It's Out!

Where'd my engine go?

Ella's engine is out!  It actually came out about three weeks ago, but I'd rather be wrenching than blogging :-).

The process is well documented on pcarworkshop.com and the rennlist 993 forum, and I also purchased the Bentley 993 manual. With those sources already available, I don't have much to add to the technical instructions, but click past the break for some notes on moving the engine around in a home garage and, of course, some photos.

993 Engine Drop: Prework

After reading others' experiences, I realized I would have to upgrade my 993 jacking and jack stand procedure for the engine drop.  The engine drop requires a lot of clearance at the rear!
