RE: T3 engine out/empis


It's easy enough to stack a bunch of 2x6's, alternating
directions, to a decent height, that using blocks just
isn't worth the risk. With a series of wood pieces, the
height can be easily adjusted as well.

As always, push, shake, and shove on the car after it
is up on whatever you use to test the stability of the
set-up. The jack should be only a backup at this point.

While the wood pads would certainly make a difference, I still wouldn't
advise
it. The odds may be in your favor, you could still get "fooled" and then the
odds wouldn't be any comfort.
