I have tried to find some info on removing the engine .. Dose any links or findings on youtube showing proper way of doing this task.. thanks guys

It kind of depends on what shop tools you have handy.

Lift?
Floor Jack?
Jack Stands?
Furniture dollies?

Engine Removal

Thanks Jeff...

I'm going to add a few common sense ( some folks don't have any ).
- make sure you utilize a well made jack stands.....having the car fall on you will not make your day

- loosen the lug bolts before you jack up the car...Otherwise you will need another person to press the brakes while its up

Again, common sense on safety goes a long way.

I strongly recommend using the Tangerine Racing engine jack plate.

This tool is designed to balance the engine/trans on a standard shop jack and makes quick work of the removal and install. Basically all you need to do is get the car up on jack stands, place the plate under the engine, unhook all the bits as described in the Pelican link, and slowly lower it down. Yes, it's 120 bucks...but the time and frustration saved makes it a no brainer.

The mover dolly method also works...but requires you to use two jacks and is easier with two people. And you need to be really careful that the dolly is in the right position and you've got good control of the jacks or risk doing some damage.

I only wish I bought the tangerine plate a long time ago!

Your first engine drop is a true rite of passage! Good luck with it...and welcome to the club.

Are you jacking up the car or do you have a lift? If a lift, is it a two post or four-post unit.

Removed my engine for first time a couple of months ago. Almost ready to put back in (r so I keep saying).

Removal with 4-post lift was pretty easy following directions provided in link (use the checklist). Only snag was that engine bar and tins are wider than the space between many 4-post lifts. I used a harbor freight lift table to place the engine on. The hydraulic lift table also made it easy to raise it in position for the engine stand.

If you get stuck along the way just ask questions here. Lots of great people willing to hep out.

I have never removed a wheel to remove the engine.

I think by removing the wheels will allow you better access to loosen the CV bolts..

Having the wheels on makes it easier to turn the cv to access the bolts. And you don't have to put the wheels back on to move the car. I'm basically lazy and won't remove anything that is not absolutely necessary.
