I am gonna take my engine out this week (been saying that for a couple of weeks now!) and wanted some advice on:
A: how to store it. I don't have an engine stand, I do have a bunch of 2x4s laying around maybe construct something out of those to keep it off the ground. What worked for you? Just leave it on the ground? B: what are some common maintaince issues that should be done on the motor while it is out? Thanks all, I need to get motivated and get this done before warm weather returns! |

why drop the motor? get a chunk of 2x4 and a furniture dolly. i jacked my car almost high enough to walk under, so i had to use the 2x4 to make contact with the motor. but i slid the jack under the dolly first so the motor dropped right down on to it. then i pulled the jack out and rolled the motor out easy as pie. then you'll have a good place to "store" the motor and move it easily too. as far as maintenance, there was a ton of crud between the engine tin and the cylinders on one side. you'd have to pull the heads to get at that area, but it think it meant much warmer running temps on that side. since your in there, rebuild the motor!
