[PureWrath]

ok so i've found a new engine all i need to do is take out the old one but im not so sure how to do it or where to really start i dont want to break any parts that I will need for putting in a new engine.

 

any advise would be helpful im going to be searching the net but if you know a tutorial or know how to do it the info would be great.

tools needed

 

assortment of metric sockets/wrenches

assortment of extensions.

1/2 breaker bar

3/8 ratchet

impact gun

assortment of pliers

assortment of screwdrivers

 

 

disconnect intake and exhaust from exhaust manifold/down pipe

remove axles

remove slave cylinder

remove wiring harness

remove a/c compressor but make sure to recover Freon

remove ps from mount bracket

jack under engine

remove mount bolts

remove engine with hoist

remove transmission from old engine

attach pressure plate, flywheel and clutch with alignment tool after torquing to adequate specs

bleed slave cylinder

install the opposite of how you took it out

 

tip: take a piece of tape and put one on each side of the connections of the wiring harness with a corresponding number. it makes it easier to reconnect the wiring harness

 

do oil change on new engine before starting. replace oil after 1000 miles

 

if engine has been sitting without being run, make sure to turn it over at the crank to see if it's seized or has compression

 

if engine has been sitting, coat piston rings with oil to prevent scarring on cylinders by spraying a bit of lubricant in the spark plug holes

 

replace timing belt and water pump while it's out of the car. it's only 75 bucks worth of parts.. and makes it much simpler than doing it after installation

 

replace spark plugs with ngk plugs and wires

 

 

 

 

hope this helped!
