About to remove Engine for 1st time ....
 
I'm about to remove the engine and transmission in my 72 T for the 1st time.

I'm planning on doing the following projects:

Replace Clutch
Replace Flywheel seal
Replace Flywheel Pilot Bearing
Turn and refinish fly wheel
Replace motor mounts
Install rocker shaft seals
Replace pulley seal
Adjust valves
Send Transmission to Walker to reseal/rebuild if necessary
Remove Oil Cooler and have professionally cleaned:
Try and fix oil leak on left side of MFI Pump
Detail and paint engine compartment

Can anyone think of anything else (reasonable) that I should consider? I'm thinking about pulling the engine in a month or so and working on it for a while over the Winter....

When I do it again, I'm gonna use a motorcycle jack.

There's a lot of debate on motorcycle jack vs normal. I used the motorcycle jack with a very thick board (about 2' by 2'). This allowed the motorcycle jack to support the engine by the exhaust manifolds. I found the it kept the engine extremely level and stable while still allowing for ajustments to the engine on lowering and raising.

Good time to consider updates if you haven't already done so. I'm not familiar with the '72 so I can't comment on anything else that should be done.
