Last night I got started with my first engine drop, undertaken to cure high oil consumption, leaks and some smoke. Pleasantly surprised that I could get most of the disconnections done inside a few hours. A few questions and observations -
1. Bentley 101-5 says to disconnect "multipin harness near left rear shock tower". Mine is a 87 and the book was written for all Carreras - I really can't see this connector - is it there?
2. Do all wires come off the starter?
3. Any trick to getting clutch slave cyl out? 13mm hex bolts I believe... access sucks!
4. I recall reading that theres an easier solution to the speedo wire disconnect than Bentely offers?
5. Bentely says to disconnect brake booster vac line - which side of the T makes most sense? This one is hard to pull apart.
Observations -
I notice a lot of people who drop w/o a lift use 6ton Jacks. I went whole hog and got 12 ton jacks, these things are MONSTERS and feel unbelievably sound even with 32in clear below bumper. Highly recommended, especially at HF with the 25% off that's floating around this month.
