Jacking tips

[Oldmactech]

Well was gonna make some progress on my 3.0 headgasket replacement today since the weatherman said it was gonna be 60 and sunny today. (My Car is outdoors). Un, uh. 50’s and raining, next few days in the 30’s and below.

Crap.

Got me to thinking about how I’m going to get the head off and such and I’m short with not long arms. I was thinking that once I got the exhaust out if I could get the front to “kneel” a bit, might be able to get at it better.

Currently it’s on a pair of those plastic ramps, wheels and tires intact. Wondering if I pull the front wheels would it be smart to drop it until the rotors rested close to the ground or on a wood block or something so I can reach all the way to the back of the engine without pulling a muscle.

Not looking for a “hold my beer, watch this” experience. Would it be worth trying, any good support places for a short Jack? Or better ideas?

Thanks
