You must remove the front engine mounts to raise the motor an inch or two. We used a 6 ft step ladder to straddle the motor for an overhead winch anchor point, took about 10 min to raise it. Be sure to put a new spare belt behind the engine mount before you drop it so you have a new spare ready to install without having to raise the motor again. Use grip ties to keep it out of the way.
