How many hours to swap 3.2 out/in

[BReyes]

How many hours does the book state to swap 3.2 out/in.

Thanks,

one complete engine for another complete engine (no wrenching other than to drop drivetrain and install a different engine to the tranny and bolt everything back in)... maybe 4-5 hr. But there are always things that pop up...things that should be fixed or replaced while things are out. So it's hardly ever that easy...


Edit: Oops...you stated book. Do you want to know what the shop will charge you to drop the drivetrain and reinstall it?

Since then Craig has moved up to the Keg system, not surpisingly the job times have increased subsantually, as has the amount of half naked college girls passed out in the garage.

if you have never done it before, twice what you think it will!

I got the engine/trans out and on a stand in about 4 hours first time around without rushing and with a little help from a friend.
Can't comment on the other 1/2 since I haven't put them back in yet.

Do you have a hoist, because if you have a hoist you can R&R the engine in about 2 1/5 hours with some practice.

We used to charge about $400 to R&R (remove and reinstall) an engine but this was many years ago and was generally applicable for a 930 motor in need of a major service. Don't know what the going rate would be now but that may give you a ballpark figure.
