EJ205 Lifting Issue - Upd: Fixed
Guys,
I was going to replace the spark plugs on my ej205 yesterday and I wanted to lift the engine a bit to make the process easier.
I removed 2 nuts (14mm) from 2 mounts and put jacked up the engine, however, the entire front end was lifting up. Tried to wiggle the engine a bit but its sitting strong.
Could you please advise how can I release the engine to lift it? Anything else I should unbolt? Seems like 2 nuts on the mounts should be enough.
Thank you.

Remove the pitch stop mount at the rear, this will then give you enough clearance to Jack the engine, just be aware of radiator pipes being pulled too much.

Update. Lifted the engine high enough without removing the rear mount. Just removed 2 nuts from the lower mounts. This time I lifted higher than before, the entire front end was lifting up but in one moment the engine started to lift up alone. So I was able to change all plugs with no issues.
