I need to pull out complete engine and tranny but i don't have engine hoist, can this be done? if so, how? please help. thanks
\
btw, this is for dc2 integra

 

-take the coilovers out of the front susp. so the car will drop to the ground.
-Unbolt the engine an let it sit on the floor.
- pick up the front of the car and slide the engine from under it.

done it bunch of times, makes is easier to put/ take out the engine from the bottom

 

great help, now for the rear mount, can i unbolt it from bottom or from top?

 

bottom and 1 bolt from the top

 

thanks alot

 

good advice. Best way I have come up with.

 

when me and my buddy were in our teens, we swapped in a VW watercooled motor into the gti using a tree and rope ... and those motors are much heavier iron blocks, the honda motors are aluminum and much lighter.

wont work if you're by yourself though.

other alternative is to pull off tranny separately then lower motor to the ground with a jack.

hey would that work on a 90 crx... i needa do a timing belt on the b16 in her, might attempt it myself

 

Who pulls a motor to swap a timing belt? seriously

My first swap was done under a tree with something called a "bait n tackle",basically just a pulley system, that can hold various weights, works great, locks poisiotn if you need to tighten something, can be done alone, no hard lifting and trees,forklights,support beams are everywhere

I rented mine for 1 week for $20 from autozone

yeah it works the same; but take out the front crossmember. makes things easier.

... I'm sorry there are no trees on my property, I'm also sorry I upset you, but its cool you gotta impress .... besides theres a lot more going in after the timing belt buddy

 

I agree much easier to drop the motor from the bottom then the top,I've done it both ways in the integra's and dropping it from the bottom is much easier.
