Default Rear jack point?

I have read here the motor case seam is a valid rear jack point for the 996TT, but my jack only reaches to the 'flange' at the very back of the motor. I was a bit worried as this part is an extension of only one half of the motor case. Any problems jacking from here?

You need a low-boy jack. Costco sells them. Stephen (iA) has mentioned in the past that you MUST have a 2x4 between your jack and engine. With the costco low-boy jack it fits under no problem.

Or drive your back wheels over some 2x4's to get some more room.

Sometimes some of us drive up on top of 2x6's so that we have more clearance.
I bought one of the fancy lowboy jacks from Craftsman and it is really low.
