is it possible to raise the 2.8 engine enough to clear the mounts without removing the front clip?

Default thanks again...

yeah, I'm all for nice tools but I'd rather focus the money elsewhere as long as time is the same, tool can be reused and no addition hassles are involved. Otherwise I buy the proper tool.

Case in point am I going to pay campy $1,100 for their headset press? No not even a few hundred dollars to Park tool as for about $17 dollars at the hardware store I "made" my own adjustable cup press. Could work for a lot of things really.

Default that's sweet. I'd like to rent/buy this tool, what's the name/part #/description?

Edit:

The only one I was able to find:

Matra 10-222A Engine Support bridge $1491.05

not exactly cheap

Default a response...

Made by OTC, part#4324, product name: Stinger Engine Support Bar.
You might look around their catalog a bit as they have developed a number of other support bars(lighter, multiple legs, etc.). Sir Tools makes versions as well.
Regards
