Engine was lowered without Driver Motormount


Pretty much what the title said, I had lifted it underneath the oil pan but when I came out the next day the jack was completely to the floor, (my bad) Should I be worried, or will I be fine?
Im worried something might have bent since I had that driver side motor mount out and nothing was supporting the motor on that side.

BTW Head is off the block

youll be fine some peaople even let the motor just hang there overnight cause sometimes the jack bleeds out jus check all your connections and hose to make sure everything didnt get bent or cut but other than that youll be ok

swweeeeet, seriously thanks for the reassurance. I dont mind a few hoses being bent and for the most part all the connections are separated.
Anyone have any tips on removing the crankshaft sprocket? I have to take the oil pump out in order to replace some seals.
However the crankshaft sprocket doesnt do anything but spin becuz my t-belt broke

theres 4 bolts that hold the harmonic balance on you put a rachet in the center part to hold it in place and crank the bolts off easier with air tools and also deffinatly check your valve if it broke while driving most likely something else is broken

The belt broke in such a weird way actually, basically the way belt broke, it prevented it from being turned over at all because a piece of belt was wedged between the other side of the tbelt and the gear. Im hoping i lucked out. I took the head off, and everything looks cosmetically fine. Like I said though, I wont really know until the head is taken to a shop.

As for taking that center bolt out, its a PITA! There seems like no way to do this, and im not sticking anything in the flywheel, seems kinda odd.

Im thinking about picking one of these up
Electric Impact Wrench - 1/2"

Will this solve my probleM?
