Tim joined us today for the engine removal. We spent almost an hour setting up the hoist, draining fluids and making the final disconnections on the motor and transmission. The entire removal process took about three hours.
We took very few pictures during the removal process because we had to watch the engine's movements very closely. Re-installation of the drive train will be more difficult that the removal. We must be very careful not to mar the new finishes. To make the installation easier, all the peripheral equipment such as the generator, starter, exhaust and intake manifolds and water pump, will be attached after the engine is in place.
With the engine and transmission removed, the hydraulic system, fuel system and wiring harness can be removed more easily. Tomorrow the engine compartment will be stripped and the engine and transmission will be separated.
Later,
Tom
