I want to replace the serpentine belt on a 98 malibu with the 3100 sfi engine. Looks like I need to loosen motor mounts on the passenger side and jack the engine up slightly-correct? how much can I lift it without incurring damage? What is the correct torque for the motor mount bolts when I reassemble?
