Changed out my OEMs to HKS today...I'm in the middle of a bunch of installs so I had removed a lot of what was necessary to do the FSM method anyway... so I went with it. Well, kind of... there were a few things I did different but close enough..

Here are some pics from my install...

The Bottle Jack was great for this swap. My 86 is currently on jacks (14" off ground) so I was able to place the bottle jack on the ground... Luckily I hoarded a bad axle from the landing gear of a C550 because I used it to extend the jack while maintaining a solid jacking point.









This is a high as I raised either side...



I was able to torque the plugs and coil packs... the FSM method really made the swap almost frustration free.

Engine lifted on the passenger side...



You could see the work space created with the engine angled in these pics...
