The service manual mentions using an engine support brace for when you remove the engine mount. Has anyone tried using a jack under the engine to support the engine during this step?
Anything else to look out for when doing a timing belt change on a protege5? I am trying to save money by doing it myself. I will probably change the waterpump since the car has 105,000 miles. Should I replace the cylinder head cover gasket or anything like that or is pretty much everything reuseable? I have heard some people on this forum claim that they did the timing belt in about an hour, so I imagine there isn't much that needs to be removed.
Regards,
Zach
