Proper method to lower motor
 
Hey guys I’m a new owner of a 991 turbo
and for maintenance purposes spark plug changes
it’s Cetera I am looking for the proper method and steps
to lower the motor a couple inches or so
thank you in advance Mike
ps. On my old 996 turbo motor you could just
Support it from the engine case

We need a DIY for this!
I was scared to do this when I did the plugs and just worked around without lowering the engine and it was a hell of a tough time. :surr:

Hi thank you for that come back I’m still a little
confused on exactly what I should use under the oil pan
Since I don’t have a tranny jack

Tranny Jack would be best for the weight involved.

Does anybody have a picture of a tranny jack in particular that would work for this

You dont need a transmission jack. Assuming you are using a quick jack or jack stands to raise the vehicle, just a hydraulic car jack with a piece of plywood or 2x4 to support under the oil pan is all that is needed. Then follow the directions I posted above. Make sure the plywood is large enough to support the enitre oil pan. I have done this on my 991ttS many times with no issue.

How many miles on your 991? You must have a lot. Any issues?
