hello iam knew here so i hope iam doing this right.. i have a 89 civic and i wanna pull the motor out is there a site that can give me a walk thru on how to do so? and would it be better to rebuild the motor that's in the car now or just do a swap? this car is a long term project due to cash flow.

Thanks in advance

 

just use the search function at the upper right hand corner. Search the archives for "remove engine" or "engine removal"

thanks all for the responces

 

Just disconnect everything, I recommend draining the transmission fluid, as it will spill a little when you tilt it with no axles in.

There's a spot on the transmission for a rope or chain to go under, near the mount plate near the passengers side mount, and I usually wrap the other side of it to the drivers side engine mount. Lift the drivers' side of the engine about 4-6 inches higher than the tranny side, because its kinda weird how it likes to come out, and yea just pull.

p.s. swaps are so cheap I would just buy a new engine. For $500 you can get a ZC from Hmotors, plus about $100 for shipping. I got my complete engine tranny axles halfshaft package minus the ECU for $974 shipped.

 

wow thats not bad price wise..i may have to look into that...
thanks for the walk thru..i've been told its not to hard to pull it..i just dont wanna mess anything up

 

any site advise for motors? i tryed google...but its not what i need

The distributor I got was bad, and no questions asked I sent it back and he sent me a new one, plugged it right in and the car started. Engine was super clean when it got here, and everything was packaged well.

Hmotors = good price and excellent service.

 

thanks 31 i will check it out

 

The way i did it was: unbolt the cradle, shocks, upper control arms, steering column, motor mounts, disconnect the radiator, brake lines, exhaust, fuel lines, and the wiring harness and lift body right off the cradle like this

 

how in the hell did you get it up so high? If you used a lift thats not practical for what hes asking, however I dont think you did.

 

Buy a helms manual. Please.

 

yeah i dont have access to a life so thats not gonna work for..but tyvm for the advise

 

i dont have a life either jk... but yeah just as they said just disconnect everything and pull her out
