OK, I've found that the belts all need removed, crank and water pump =
pulleys, both timing belt covers to get the engine mount bracket out.
I'm also afraid my FI puller tool will not work on this 16V:(
Oh well, a bit at a time I guess.

Broke

  Subject: pass side engine mount change & injector seals


  Why is there no room to work in?
  Anyway, I have no Bentley yet, and I need to change the pass side =
engine mount on my 88 16V.
  Does the lower timing belt cover need removed?
  Are there 2 or 3 allen bolts holding the mount bracket to the engine? =
I only see 2, very oily, one loose.
  The mount is worn out so the upper timing cover nearly rested on the =
body.=20
  I have the front up on ramps right now, trying to figure out how to =
get this done.
  I'm thinking of putting a jack under the oil pan, taking the wieght =
off the mount, remove the big through-bolt, then lowering the engine =
down so I can get to the bolts that hold the bracket to the engine.
  I wanted to know what all needs removed or whatever to get this mount =
done.

  I also am going to try to do the inj o-rings and inserts. I have a FI =
puller tool, for my 8V cars, but will it work on my 16V? I have the =
gasket to to between the intake manifold halves....can the manifold stay =
on for this inj seal replacment?

  I have a VC gasket too, but I'm more concrened with the engine mount =
and o-rings now. Should I try them all at once, or what?

  Thanks for any help!

  Broke
