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! |

I took the muffler off, rested the engine mount on jack stands. Pulled the exchanges off there. Then waited till the engine was in the car for the reinstall. I think I would pull them in the car next time. As they said. Not worth the chance of damage, and I really gained nothing by doing it after the engine was out. Although it does look cool with the on there.
