Message	Get engine set, leave mounts a hair loose so it can tilt slightly. I've used a 2x4 between the block and the firewall to make sure the VTC solenoids or heater core lines don't get bent. The engine does need to tilt slightly back to get it fully stabbed properly. After that its really easy. First do the bottom/easy bolts somewhat tight, and then do the top bolts while it can still lean back. Then tighten everything up, jack the rear of the transmission up and bolt up the rear mounts. Easy!
