But I thought it was good to have a car that you work on the engine from the engine compartment?

Guy looks light, but I don't think I could handle doing that. I'm afraid to even slighty lean on the car.

I have done this myself, but I am just a little bigger and my engine was out of the car and I went all the way down in there to do some work.

The best way to protect your paint is not to take it to Walmart. Look at my other thread.
