Ok, Im using http://www.vfaq.com/mods/timingbelt-2G-NT.html to try and do this... and needless to say Im stuck at the beginning.. I took off the bolt and 2 nuts to remove the engine from the frame mount. When I release pressure off of my jack to low the engine it doesn't go down very far. Are there any other things i need to remove for it to drop down far enough for me to get at stuff?
 
Settle down Beavis..... bump your thread again and it will be closed.

I just read through the VFAQ and no where does it say the engine needs to be dropped for you to continue. If the engine didn't drop at all (it should drop about 1-2 in.), your motor mount is probably worn out or it was not centered to begin with.
