swap engine
I'm new in rotary know-how. Can Someome enlighten me with engine swap procedure and how hard is it???
I have contacted a dealer and they said it'll take 25 hours and $2,000.00. And obviously even having my own spare engine $2K is seemingly way out there.
Thanks!

Scathcart has a good basic write-up on engine removal. Its pretty much, remove whats in the way and dont break anything, heh, i guess that goes for anything though. Run a search on his name, you should find some good results.

If you really want to save money and you have the engine yourself, do it yourself! It's a good learning experience, it's not *all* that difficult, and it saves you a lot of money!

heres the write up.....
Its super easy if your mechanically incline...with basic sockets/ wrenches you can get it out in a few hours.
if i can remember the sockets were 10, 12, 14, deep 17, 19
and same sized wrenches plus a 23mm . some pliers, 10" extension, floor jack etc...

I agree, its not too difficult to remove the engine. Just the right tools and an engine hoist would help a bunch but not a must. If you're still not sure about tackling the project, get the Atkins video. Its about $30 and you decide whether you can do it yourself or not.
