Can the 16v engine be supported without removing the intake?

Rear mount requires NO support of the engine. the 2 side mounts support the engine, the front and read mounts are for torque handling only. As for the jack, it may still come in handy to rock the engine a bit so you can get enough clearance to get the mount out/in.
Hope this helps

Subject: Can the 16v engine be supported without removing the intake?
I'm eyeing replacing my rear motor mount, but I can't get to the hoist holes to support the engine. Does the intake HAVE TO BE removed?
I figure if I have to take the intake off, I might as well take the valve cover off and install my cams.
I've thought about using the jack to support the engine, but the small jack I have, I already have to use a booster to get the car high enough to work under it...
Both of the cams and motor mount were things I was going to wait until the 2.0 goes in, but I'm bored and feeling tinkery...I'm sure you all sympathize...
thanks in advance! JT
