how to remove engine?

Post by oBladeo »

Hi i need to get my highly modded engine out my car to sell it. It's just been painted and looks mint but the prob is i don't know how to get it out without damaging it.

I know what to do to remove it but i don't know how to get the car high enough.

mate alot of guys including myself lowered the rear of the car onto a pallet and lifted the body up over the engine with a hoist, you will prob find you have to do it in stages, take your time and be well aware of your safety :shock: heard too many horror stories of people getting injured matey :thumleft:
As with most things, preperations the key dude :mrgreen:

you can get a two tonne fold away hoist from ebay delivered for £140-£160, you can either sell it afterwards or keep it for future use, the RRP is nearer £350 so it should be fairly easy to get your money back on :wink:

make life so much easier for you :thumleft:
