Is any one familiar with a service tool used to pitch forward the 3.1 liter V-6 Engine and is used to access the rear three Spark Plugs. I'm told the upper Engine Mounts "Dog Bones" are removed and this tool is attached to the mounting points and is used to access the rear of the Engine by banking the Engine forward. Are they still available? can they be rented? I guess it's a GM service tool. I checked with a few Mechanics and they aren't familiar with it. Any help or information would be appreciated.

You can just use a turnbuckle from a hardware store.

Find something like this, http://www.biconet.com/birds/GIFs/st...urnbuckle2.jpg

 

I had to replace the leaking intake gasket on my 97. If memory serves me correctly I removed the dog bones up front and used one of my ratchet type binders to pull the engine forward. I did put new plugs in but it was still tight back there. They're only a few bucks. Here's the best pic I could find. Hope it helps.
