Thread: Engine removal planning

    Don - per Gene, of course you are welcome to use my hoist.

    It's not a 3 or 4 person job to pull a motor this size (I've pulled and installed many, much bigger, all by my lonesome), so I think if you have 2 or 3 people there, you'll have it out in less than 30 minutes - tops. I'm burning the candle at both ends and the middle, but could accompany Gene just to keep him company and help haul the hoist. Would be worth it to see your progress at the very least.

    OK Don, consider yourself "penciled in" on my calendar. Of course, Roger is always welcome to come along with me and greatly appreciated. Please remind me as we approach that day, to bring hoist and stand.

    Sounds great guys.... (thanks Roger) I don't think there's room in my garage for more than 4 or so around the front of the car anyway. My son will also be there, and I have full confidence it will come out with Gene's mentoring, but on the other hand Roger if you have time to head over and make an appearance, I'll have fun showing off what I've done so far and probably have a list of 50 questions I'll be hitting you and Gene with while you're looking at the car, so that would be great, but if you can't make it, I completely understand. Gene...I'll ding you in a week or so and again before that Saturday. I'm really looking forward to this..

    Looks like I missed out on some fun. Having plenty of my own here though. Sorry I missed it, but glad I was able to help, albeit by phone.

    Glad to have helped Don, and thanks to your son, also. By the way, Don had the engine almost totally ready to lift. Don and Jason pulled the Z-bar after I arrived, we hooked up (with Roger's fone assistance), and lifted. Voila!

    Post some pictures of your expansion! I think we are all excited to see what's happening over there.

    What to do with the vent tube

    I'm supposed to send the engine rebuilder the block and the head with only the internal stuff on it...without all the tin and external stuff...I assume that means I should take off the crank case vent tube?

    I'd appreciate some quick advice on how this thing comes off... I didn't see anything in the manual about it. I gave it a tug with my hand and it's tight...but I haven't tried the rubber mallet yet.

    I need to get this thing on a pallet tomorrow.

    Thanks as always...

    I'm pretty sure it's just a tight fit. It should twist and wiggle out. You might be able to get a stiff putty knife or something under that lip that goes against the block and pry as you wiggle. Some penetrating oil may help.

    I don't think there's a pin or set screw holding it in and it looks like you've removed the lower bracket bolt already.

    Mine was only held on by the one bolt (you already have that off as I see the tab) and the pressure fit of the tube in the hole. It has been a while but I think I wriggled it back and forth while pulling up and it slowly worked its way out. I would be gentle with a mallet as I have seen them bashed up... it is pretty thin walled tube.

    I can't remember if the tube had an Oring seal on it or not. I know the Californian smog deal I removed did.
