Installing Kooks LT tomorrow

usafimj · May 2nd, 2009, 09:59 PM

I used a 1/4 ratchet to tighter up the top starter bolt. Had no problems

I leave the starter in and raise the motor high enough to slip them in.

They were kidding about denting the kooks, they're fitment is great.

With a jack. Piece of wood or something between the jack and the oil pan.

Mr.Stang08 · November 7th, 2009, 02:57 PM

Just like that? Wouldn't that bend the oil pan? Don't I have to loose some bolts before that?

That's supposed to be common sense..

There's plenty of threads outlining how folks have done theirs. Have a look around.

I tried that there are too many. That's how I ended up bringing this thread back

You can raise it by the oil pan, but if on your back under the car, the jack will be in the way. You can leave the jack in the front, out of the way by raising the motor either at the balancer or right on the front edge of the oil pan. Get a piece of wood that just fits on that edge and raise the motor.
