Engine removal destructions....

rickMember

Anyone have suggestions, instructions, tips, etc for the removal of the motor knowing it'll be a month or two before it goes back in ?

i.e. Novice doing the extraction.

thanks Rick.

Photograph everything before you take it apart. Get good detail shots of hoses and wires.
Get a box of 1QT and 1GAL Ziploc® baggies. Organize the bolts and nuts associated with the component they came from.
Optional to order a set of SS bolts from E-bay and replace them at assembly. Looks nice.
Label each wire with a piece of masking tape and a Sharpie®.
A chain bridle with bolts placed in the second to last header bolt hole is almost perfect balance for a fully dressed motor and trans (see photo). Put extra straps / ropes on the tail of the trans and wrapped around the boom of the crane to get it tail high for exit and entry.
Get a few of those heavy furniture moving blankets and cover any potential impact point of the body.
If the trans fluid is fresh, don't bother draining it. It will not leak out.
Have celebratory beer handy when the job is done!
