I have read thru the books and viewed a view you tube videos, there seems to be any number of ways to install the engine.
One books says to mount the tranny to the engine first, One book says you HAVE to mount the tranny first, Tom Wilson's book says you can mount the engine 1st, and it might be easier to handle without the tranny, then install the tranny to the engine in the car. (I am kinda leaning this way, but wonder about the spline lining up and how well I did centering the clutch, etc... I have seen CAR UP/engine raising and ENGINE DOWN / car lowering. Anyone out there tried several and have an opinion on their favorite way? |

forgot. undo them at the trans ends. you'll have to rest them on the trans and walk them down the length of the trans/engine when you pull the dolly back. re-install with new schnor/belleville locking washers. i've done the removal this way so many times i take certain aspects for granted.
