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

You and Al were right - this was ridiculously easy. I guess I was confused by the Bentley because the only place it mentioned removal of this mount is during engine removal where support of the engine is obviously a must...
I shudder to think what we would all do without this list! :)

From the looks of the four-mount design, I'd say the two end mounts (pass and drivers side) do all the supporting, with the front and rear controlling fore-and-aft movement (rocking). Don't worry, go for it.

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
