Default Is this a safe way to remove your motor ?

Here are some pics of my ITR getting its temp B16 motor out. Now my question is, IS this the safest way or what to get your motor out of your car. :D

Here is the guttless (Sorry Gill and Will ) B16 temp motor that I threw in to just get the ITR moving about for about a month.



Look at that ghey bottom end... so weak :wackit:



Soooo who wants to go under there and check out the undercarriage ??
Is it safe.....hell no... does it work....yeah.



Till next time......

I would have used that cherry picker that is sitting next to your car.

Thats how i pulled the motor out my hatch but mines wasn't that high and i places the jacks on the ground. IMO that is very dangerous the way you have the jacks sitting on steeles.

yeah cuz they dont have acces to a engine hoist or a lift like most of the people on here do. and if you got skills you do it that way.

Taking the motor out from the bottom is easier if you have a lift, honda puts them in from the bottom.

But that just looks dangerous.

on a lift, i definately pull the motor from the bottom.

on the ground, i use a hoist. with the radiator out, its just as easy for me to pull my motor through the top.

Your method is probably the easiest (not necessarily the safest) and avoids causing any damage to the firewall or radiator of the vehicle when using the cherry picker method.

Use those jack stands on a flat steardy surface ...
