Is it the accepted method when one needs to jack up the rear of a 996TT to put it on jackstands that the center of the engine case is the only place you can do this? No lift is available !

Can the pro 911 mechanics please chime in?

I have done it many many times.

I use a 2x4 the long way along the case seam (where it is bolted together) to
lay out the stress of the jacking point some.

yip, no probs, remember to use piece of rubber or wood like Marty said

 

I changed my exhaust and plugs and used only a floor jack with two jack stands. It is very safe but be careful when setting the jack stands, use 2 people. I use a 2X10, a 2X4 is usally yellow pine here in Florida which is pretty brittle and can crack. You can go to the Imagine Auto page and see a good picture from under the car.
