How far can an engine tilt on its mounts?. I'm removing the transmission and have to tilt the engine to get it out, will it be fairly obvious once it's reached as far as it can go?

Nobody?, Google ain't giving me shit

on longitudinal engines I just remove the trans crossmember and let it rock back on the mounts as far as it will go, make sure there isn't a wire loom running in between the block/pan and the frame/subframe. you don't want to pancake the wires. mounts are tough and ig=f the isolator rips you needed new mounts anyways.
Until shit breaks. Seriously, tilt that bitch till shit breaks.
until it stops moving..
Just stop before IT rips apart, nah kidding they can take a decent beating, but like mentioned above make sure you don't pull cables/hoses

Why, what's the concern?

aah I left out pulling hoses and wiring from the tilt back, also rear mounted distributors on v-engines can hit the firewall, especially large cap dizzy's like the HEI. you may have to remove the cap or the entire assy. Mounts hold up to brake stands, pulling trailers etc. they can handle the torque of an unsupported trans.

good way to stretch/break engine mounts. best not to do it. do it right instead.

New to this
Cars being scrapped any so fuck all the hoses and wires, I'm still curious though

ok go ahead and stretch OPs aging brittle EPDM mounts.

People doing this to change clutches is why people thought the UK Ford Escorts had weak engine mounts

the euro escort had weak everything m8.
anyway if you can change a clutch you can change an engine mount.
