EngineRemoval

From John Clarke Mills Project Wiki

Removing and engine is not as hard as you may think. Its a little bit overwhelming at first, but it simple enough where I feel confident enough to do it again by myself. Luckily this time I had a buddy to help me get it out of the car.

So here are two tips that I would highly recommend. The first being, bring a digital camera along. I took pictures from every angle so if I have to figure something out, I can refer back to them. The second being, label everything. I labeled every wire and hose, in and out in some cases, to make reassembly a snap. I also put all the various nuts and bolts in ziplock bags and labeled them to make things even easier.

Here is a picture of the engine before any work has been done:
