I have a 2010 496 Mag MPI that I need to put a shim kit on. The shim kit is just a SS washer that goes between the rear engine mount and the transom plate mount. I have all 4 mounts loose and plan to try to raise the rear of the engine and put the shim in, one side at a time, and wondering if its safe to use a bottle jack under the manifold to lift it. The floor there is solid enough and I plan to use a 2x8 on the floor to spread out the load as well. Should only have to jack each rear corner up about a 1/2" or so. Im just am afraid of damaging the manifold or anything else on the motor. Any thoughts??
