I do have an engine hoist I can use to support the engine from the top. Hopefully it is not too bad.

An engine support bar is recommended. That way you can access underneath the front end. If you are dropping the subframe I would also change your engine mounts.

M3 engine mounts and trans mounts?
Campieri
Anything is better than 100k+ mile mounts.

Did you get the headers bolted in?Yea BB. It comes with gaskets and bolts for the header to mid-pipe, but I wouldn't use the gaskets. I used the bolts for the mid pipe bc the headers were threaded and the old bolts are pressed in and don't come off. The gaskets are crap...I bought all oem gaskets and new header studs and all new nuts as well; costs about 120$ for all the hardware. I'm glad I did it that way, it's a much better fit and finish.

Asked this earlier in the thread and it kinda got lost in the noise, so i'll give it another shot again :fingers crossed
Is this the proper fix for this noise? (violin clutch noise)

I really have no idea what I am doing

Good point. Might as well get new mounts.
Campieri
I'm probably going to go with M mounts as well.
