Thank God I was able to pull out an engine of my newly acquired 71 1.7 megasquirt and I was able to do it for less than 4 hrs. From clearing all electrical lines, fuel lines, cables, linkage and other parts before dropping the engine to a dolly.
I hope I can install it back after fixing the rear suspension console with the help of a good fellow 914world member who is going to do the welding job.   |

Congratulations.
Taking it out is the easy part. Putting it back in, well the four bolts that hold it all up are pretty simple. The rest... |

Rich - Is there a good thread somewhere here for reinstalling and dealing with "the rest," as you call it? I've successfully dropped an engine (referencing the many threads that address that part) but I haven't done the reverse, and I will need to sometime soon. I haven't found a good step-by-step thread yet. Or is it pretty straightforward conceptually and just time-consuming hooking everything back up? Looking to identify the "gotchas" I guess... |

My method is this. I put them back in with no heat exchangers or muffler attached. Once it's bolted in, I stay under the car and do the axles, heat exchangers, muffler, starter, shifter, wiring, cables and stay on my back till the underside is done. I then go up and go to either the passenger side, do everything, and then drivers side and do everything. That is how I do it to make sure I do not miss anything. Rich |
