no news my fans arent in yet and no hoist...

gzes

Got my fans in they are perdy also went to junkyard and found a cheap intake that im gonna paint black and maybe flip or keep depends on how it turns out

You don't need a hoist to swap a motor

Use 2 jacks on each side and lower the car as far as you can, I only had 1 jack so I lowered each side onto small concrete blocks. Slide a jack underneath the motor with a piece of wood in between and support it, then take off the mounts. Take the rear mount and torque mounts off first before lowering the car

gzes

And to move the motor?

gzes

Nm i see what u saying but with it being crashed i dont no how well it would work

gzes

So i found out that the motor i sold for $300 and a trans is a monster. It was built for vtec killers and sounds nasty as ****. If he brings it ill take a video and post it. Plain nasty monster in an integra

Then lower the jack all the way, slide it out from underneath the motor, and jack the car up high enough to pull the engine out of one of the wheel wells. I've done it a dozen times and it's not hard at all

gzes

Bought a set of headers. Thinking of doing timing belt while the engines gonna be out but tomorrow im gonna inspect it

gzes

Put the fans and hoses on my racing radiator and damn it looks sexy i scuffed up the intake but it doesnt look good so im gonna just paint it black and make an imitation injen intake

Well i ended uo getting a engine lift. Thought it was gonna be a small 1 ton lift and go and holy **** its a 8 ton lift and it was dirt cheap commercial grade: paid under what new 1 tons cost at harbor freight so im happy

I was about to say man Harbor Freight all the way. I bought a 2ton I believe from them for $99 with a coupon. Ended up being a little more with the balancing bar. I sold that bitch on craigslist for $150 or $175. Used it twice and made money off of it.

gzes

Sweet. Yea i can complain tho with 8 tons i can lift the hole damn del sol or my tahoe lol. Ill keep it for after i go to college ill have stuff ready for a shop

gzes

Now i remember how m
uch it sucks working in small cars.... I have alot of the front off but not enough to get the hoist in and rip the engine and trans out

gzes

Is this a short shifter or not. Feels like the **** has locktight and fant get it out at all but yo me if feels like a short shifter yes no? Share http://static.photobucket.com/player...ps4eae4fb2.mp4

Can't tell from that. It could be a normal shifter simply cut down.

gzes

Wow yea i had to leave the boot in place and got the consol out and yea it has lock tight.... How the hell is it supposed to come out.... People....

gzes

Got it out and cleaned a bit snd it looks lioe a short shifter

gzes

So the engines almost ready to be out. Put most of the motor mounts on the red del sol. Woulda hadit out today but have been doing it all by myself so its been slow

gzes

gzes

Thanks bro i should have it out later today

gzes

Gotta get a ball joint puller and the engine will come out. Tried to bootleg pop the ball joints but they wouldny come ouy so gotta get one. So long to pulling today since its getting dark and i dont have the patience for working in the dark

94preludeguy

It's been 3 years since I've yanked a whole motor but I'm pretty sure there was a nice little trick using a jack, 1/2" ratchet and the LCA. I remember doing something to this extent when I worked on my old EK.

gzes

Yea its free to rent just a deposit so no problem. Got my headers in and my new filter for my cai

canadaek

cut the bent up core suport off then put a jack under the motor/tran's disconect it and pull it straight out the front.
