Reply to "Removal-Installation of Engine with ZF"

noquarterMember

About the distributor: I didn't find it necessary to remove it (and thereby add one more uncertainty when starting the engine). I took off the cap though, and I taped a wooden board over the back window so even if I hit (which I didn't) it would protect the window.

I did remove fuel pump, oil filter and starter, don't know if it's necessary

I recommend removing engine and gearbox together. Balance is important. If you hook the giraffe to the center of a chain that's attached to:
-the rearmost right intake manifold bolt
and
-the second rearmost left intake manifold bolt
then the engine/gearbox will by itself tilt 10 degrees forward, perfect for removal and installation
