1992(965) 911 turbo 3.3 engine removed
 

hi
spent last weekend taking engine out on my 3.3 911 turbo 2 after i had found last month it had snapped 2 head bolts,,after a little bit of stripping parts of it and undoing engine mount bolts which were really really tight i must say!!and balancing the engine when lowering out with my dad and a mate it finally was removed..i have now removed the gearbox and i have undone slack 12-off nuts which hold the inlet manifold/injection in place(was trying to remove this all in one piece together as it was running correctly and dont want to disturb),,but i cant seems to get the injection system removed from engine,tried prying it up a bit but looks like no movement and dont want to force!!
do you have to slacken anything else to get this removed or is it just the 12 in total nuts??..
try to post a couple pictures for the first time,,,will be able now to replace that rotten tinware above the turbo now etc now it is removed!..
i plan to rebuild the top end with arp head bolts etc and inspect the bottom while in there,,,anybody know the best place to buy a top end rebuild kit for my car that will include all the correct parts i will need?

water gets down in the intake stud holes and corrodes everything. try soaking some penetrating oil into the bores. they are a bittch sometimes. i've had to cut the stud sometimes to get them off. you would have to work it up enough to get a small air saw in there sideways to do that.

ARE WE TALKING ABOUT THE SAME THING HERE!!,WHAT I AM TRYING TO DO IS JUST LIFT OF THE INJECTION SYSTEM THATS ALL WITH THE INLET MANIFOLD ATTACHED TO IT

You are talking about the same thing and JW is right, those studs get ugly corroded... I can't remember if there are other fasteners but none that would prevent a little movement. I just did one of these last week and basically I use a wood block, prise it up hgently on one side, then move to the other wide and work side to side.

THe gaskets almost glue these things together.

I've found it easier though to remove the fuel injector lines than to remove the whole thing together. Otherwise you run the risk of kinking these thin steel lines as you pull off the injection.

yeah looks like you's are correct,i see it starting to move,ive sprayed loads of loose oil in round about the studs and it is starting to slightly move,looks like i will just need to keep moving it up and down on the corners to work it loose though it is bloody damn tight i tell you!!
