Motor Mount Question
It's late and the old brain is foggier than ever.
Before I utilize the BFH approach I though I would ask what I'm missing.
The car is on the lift. Just finished replacing the cam chain and gears so I have easy access to the top and bottom nuts holding the mounts in, all of which are removed.
I have a jack and piece of 2x10 under the oil pan. When I lift with the jack the engine does not separate from the mounts and tries to lift the front of the car off of the lift pads.
I really feel like a dumb ***

Assuming it's the car that's in your signature, a '99, I would be tempted to think that after 17-18 years of contact, the two pieces of metal have "welded" themselves together, and maybe a little "gentle persuasion" with a pry bar is needed.
