I've removed/replaced three rear motor mounts on my 16V and didn't =
have to support the engine at all. From the looks of the four-mount =
design, I'd say the two end mounts (pass and drivers side) do all the =
supporting, with the front and rear controlling fore-and-aft movement =
(rocking). =20
Don't worry, go for it.

Subject: Can the 16v engine be supported without removing the intake?
I'm eyeing replacing my rear motor mount, but I can't get to the hoist =
holes to support the engine. Does the intake HAVE TO BE removed?
I figure if I have to take the intake off, I might as well take the =
valve cover off and install my cams.
I've thought about using the jack to support the engine, but the small =
jack I have, I already have to use a booster to get the car high enough =
to work under it...
Both of the cams and motor mount were things I was going to wait until =
the 2.0 goes in, but I'm bored and feeling tinkery...I'm sure you all =
sympathize...
thanks in advance! JT
