Hi there,
Interested to hear your thoughts on dropping the engine.
It appears that removing the heat exchangers can be quite challenging. So, if that happens to be the situation, what's your procedure for dropping the engine with the heat exchangers still attached to the motor?
Any recommendations, tips, suggestions, or workarounds would be appreciated (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)
I understand that handling the heat exchangers can get tricky when the muffler is detached…
Thanks in advance!

If you leave the muffler and bracing attached, you should be ok. If you take the muffler off, then you really start to torque on the head studs. As a structure, I have done it many times. Muffler off equals HE's off too. You also want to ultimately block it up on some wood or stands so you are not resting on them forever. Such as leave the engine mount bar on and put that bar on top of a 4x4 and the trans on a 4x4 and it is all suspended off the ground.
