Does an car engine need to be supported with a hoist while the motor mounts are changed?

Yes, a car engine *should* be supported with a hoist (or engine stand) while changing motor mounts. While it might *seem* possible to do it otherwise, the engine is heavy and awkward, and attempting to support it solely by the remaining mounts puts undue stress on them and can lead to injury or damage. Even a slight shift can cause serious problems. A hoist allows for safe and controlled movement of the engine, minimizing the risk of damage to the engine, the mounts, or yourself.
