FIRST OFF IM NOT LOOKING FOR ANY BULLSHIT SO IF YOUR GONNA TRY YOUR LUCK ON HUMOR HERE ITS NOT GONNA WORK SO PLEASE WASTE YOUR TIME ELSE WHERE.....my y7 just blew last night and i am going to get a new one to replace it just to get me back on the road for college coming up here in less than a month....if i am going to replace it with another y7......is it hard to do? is it easy to just drop it out and the new one in from the bottom or is it easier with a cherry pikker.......kuz i dont have one and i dono where to use one from....so yeah......whats tha trik?

 

swapping the same motor in a car isn't that hard. its plug and play. find a engine host it would be much easier...

 

plug and play as in what? like just remembering where stuff goes or what?...kuz i mean if im going back with the same daum motor.....it doesnt seem too incredibly hard.....

 

forget the engine hoist. just drop the car on its belly and swap the engine that way. Put the engine on a roller and slide it in. I think its better if you just replace the whole engine and not just the block because the head might be fucked due to no oil. Yeah its pretty much plug and play meaning that you unplug everything on the old engine and replacing it on the new engine.

 

first you will have to drop the car on its belly and remove the old engine. then you will have to use alot of logs and woods to get the car as high as possible. then you put the new engine on a roller and slide that **** in and then lower the car onto the engine. I think thats the easiest way or you can use the engine hoist to lift the car high enough so it can fit the engine underneath.

 

yeah ive heard that doing it thru the bottom is easy too...........but if i kan get a hoist then ill use it...but if not then ill just break down and duit like that from the bottom...........but yeah.......is there any kind of prep for the new engine or anything like that to do b4 starting it and driving it for the first time?

Would you have to remove the front assembly? I just bought one and I'm gonna use the jack it up approach unless I find a better way. I'm gonna remove the cylinder head though if neccessary. Peace.

 

usually not flat on the ground but low enough for the engine to sit flush to the ground so that you can loosen the mount bolts. but i usually put a creeper under the engine and lower the car low enough so the engine would be sitting on top of the creeper and then i would jack the car high enough so i can slide the engine out. and high enough so i can slide the new one in.

 

just make sure you refill and top off any fluids before you start the car. be sure to double check your work and that everything is hooked back up to where it belongs. you dont want to spin another bearing by forgetting to add oil to the engine.

funny thing is that i dont use the hoist to lift the engine from the car but using the hoist to lift the car high enough so i can slide the engine in from below. i believe doing the swap from the bottom is easier. but thats just my 2 cents. I know alot would bet to differ but thats how i have always do my swaps and never have i broken a sensor that way.
