Does anyone in San Diego have time to help me pull my engine this week? Need to do so before I go down to Mexico this weekend. And I dont have the tools to do it, I heard its 4 bolts, so it shouldnt take that long of a time?

Hi Chris.  Just a couple of tips. You posted this, this morning for a drop before Sat morning.    Plus, you're wanting to get it done during the week, instead of the weekend when most of us may have time to help you. That really doesn't give anyone much time to reschedule to help you.  We all need a longer lead time. My schedule is usually filled up a couple of weeks in advance.  I just can't start canceling appts on such short notice, as I will get charged for them anyway.  I'm sure there are others in the same boat. Here's a suggestion, cancel the engine drop, just get your injectors taken care of for now, and reschedule the drop a couple of weeks down the road.  That will give us all time to get it done.   The most important part of any job is the planning.  We used to have the 7 "P"s when I was in the Navy. The 7 P's Proper prior planning prevents piss poor production.  It still applies today. I and I'm sure the other locals will be happy to help you out, we just need more lead time.  I've never dropped a 4, just 6's, so I don't have any of the special tools you're going to need. Best Regards, Don

thanks don,
Yea I know its short notice, sorry about that! Its just that my friend cancelled on helping me so I didnt know where to turn other than to the club. I got some other bad news which will force me not to take the engine out anyways.. My friends firend who was supposed to help me down to mexico called just now and said he had to go to big bear and needed his trailer.. So now im out of trailer and truck. So I'll just drive the car down, and do some work that needs to be done for now.. And when I get back I hope I can take the engine out on a weekend and do the work in two days. I hope I can bring my injectors with me from TJ, since I hope you can take them off without dropping the engine..

or am i misstaking?

some updates on my car, this morning I was seriously running on one or two cylinders, got some nasty clouds of smoke behind me.. no idle at all.. then all of a sudden poped back to three and idle just fine.. So I WILL NEED to get those injectors (and a ground strap) done ASAP..

thanks for all the help though. I will print this thread out and save it.
