Replacing the Water pump engine support help

[Jainuss]

Hello i will be replacing the water pump on the 19 TTRS this weekend and wanted to get a little input on supporting the engine. Will it be the normal block of wood on the oil pan and/or transmission case? I'm a little uneasy since the oil pan is quite soft so i wanted to figure out what has worked before i go breaking stuff . I have an engine support bar but not sure if that'll be more in the way or just not a good idea, thanks everyone

Dealer used a cherry picker and an attachment to the block to support when they did mine fyi. Not sure the alternatives.

Yea I think I would try to provide lift from the top .... as that would also allow for some movement rather than a static block of wood. I would NOT use the oil pan to support any load!
