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
and for maintenance purposes spark plug changes

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.

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.
