Hi,

I am thinking about tipping the whole engine forward in order to have
easy access to the spark plugs in rear.

How do I do this on Caravan 97 ?
What engine mounts should I release?

Thanks in advance,
Jae.

Not the best idea to date but I agree with Glenn, a good laugh.

Instead, try removing the cowl that contains the wipers, motor, and linkage.
It opens up a ton of room and allows much better access to the back of the
engine.

Best of luck,

Sorry I guess I should have tried to give you an answer, First of all you
don't specify what engine. If its the 3.0 you can remove the plugs without
taking off the wiper cowl but the 3.3/3.8 unless you have a lift to raise
the vehicle in the air you are gonna have to remove the wiper cowl.
I have never heard someone say to flip the engine over.
neway good luck
