Suggestion
This is good as the mount was going to rupture anyway, so this will be the perfect opportunity to replace your mounts.

For emergencies, using the factory jack points and jack is the way to go!

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

i know this is an old topic.
can someone cirule where the proper jack point is on this pic?
i don't seem to find a good pic regarding this.
pic was taken from another thread on rennlist, sorry don't have the link any more, feel free to claim credit if you are the org. owner.
nice, thank guys.
2 more question:
1. where do i support the engine if i plan to drop it for a few inches to do the coolant tank?
2. where are those 2 screws to release engine mount?
If you keep your engine clean, you can raise the rear of the car by lifting from here:
I have been lifting 996/997s from this point for over 10 years without problems.
My only caveat is that if your rear motor mounts have over 60K miles on them, they are getting weak and will be failing sometime in the next 60K miles. If you car has greater than 60K miles there is a chance that they may rupture during the lifting operation. This is good as the mount was going to rupture anyway, so this will be the perfect opportunity to replace your mounts.
OE,
can you please post a pic of kitchen?
those corners are cleaner than my toothbrush!
my car is 10 yr old, so i want to be sure not to starting another project (change engine mounts
Thanks for the compliments, Here is the kitchen, it is pretty clean... but for some reason the Boss won't let me cure my powder paint pieces in her oven!
The Orient Express is almost 10 years old too, but changing out the rear motor mounts is a piece of cake, all you have to do is to support the engine with the jack (like the picture shows) then remove 2 bolts holding the motor mount to the chassis, and one bolt holding the motor mount to the rear engine carrier, lift out the old mount, and drop in the new one, and refasten the bolts. It takes about 30 minutes to do both mounts, and if your car still has the original mounts and more than 60K miles, it is something that should be on your maintenance list.
I'm sure that was a joke, but just in case someone stumbles on to this and doesn't realize it, DO NOT use the center of the oil pan as a jacking point!
So they match the handles on the fridge, and if you have your hands full, the big handles are easier to pull with your free pinkies.
and +1 on don't use the bottom of the sump as a jack point. You will regret it big time!
