alright...i guess its time to remove my engine and see what i can salvage...can anyone tell me what tools im ganna need to remove the carb and engine?

Stepdaddy

 

To take out the engine, just get a hoist. That's it. Unbolt all the connections and yank 'er out.

As for the carb, I imagine it's just sockets? Sorry, I'm FI

 

Mostly 14mm sockets.

Uh, a ratchet would help, too...

 

motor mounts = 14mm

the manifold and carb bolts are 12mm

 

box wrenches 10mm 12mm and 14mm and 14 mm socket and ratchet and some mechanic gloves damn knuckle busters!!!

 

Knuckle busters..hahah

Dont forget the 3/4 on the front cover for the main pulley,and the 54mm on the rear for the flywheel,

Too bad you don't need those to actually pull the engine...

 

To me this sounds like hes gonna crack it open

 

don't forget to have a pipe of some sort.... for torque purposes..... Some bolts have been there over 20 years... make to lubricate bolts... or it'll snap.... if its too hard, use pipe to use as an extention....

 

A good cheater pipe helps to save your knuckles, as well.

"All hail the mighty cheater pipe!"

 

always have a bfh on stand by. thats a given.

 

a chainsaw helps too.

 

get a buddy with air tools for everything... sure helps A LOT!.. most useful size on my SE.. 10,12,14,17mm..for the motor~~> cherry picker is a must.. haven't removed one w/o it .. tranny you can just drop it with your knees bracing the bell housing while you loosen the 14mm bolts holding the tranny mount.

 

smoke wrench is the king of all

 

TRUE LOL

 

Are there particular places on the block to attach a hoist to? With v8s they are easy to see, what about with a rotory? I'll be doing this tomorrow.

 

hoist who needs one..... we got some scafling tossed a pipe across it and hooked up a come-a-long, custom hoist

o and as for where to lift it form. there is a loop in the front that you can hook it to. if yours is not there...... i guess wrap a chain around it several times.

if you dont see the loop i can get a pic or some one can prolly post a pic of what im talking about.

have fun pulling the motor. im pulling 2 next sat. wee.... 1/2 off day. mmmm $150 motors

 

there should be two loops, bolted onto the engine. One in the front, and one in the back. They're pretty easy to see if you're actually looking for them. Otherwise they'll blend in with the rats nest and crap like that.

 

oppp... one in the back to

 

Cool, I see the one on front, I'll look closer for the one in the rear. Thanks!!
