First Engine Drop A Success

Hi just completed my first engine drop and thanks to all your help
every thing went OK so now I can address some oil leaks and what ever else.

These are engine drop pics? Wowzers! That's a pretty clean drive train! Just did this myself and am knee deep in the "while I'm in there" projects!

Good job and have fun!

Frosty2 , How do you get your engine clean before is lands on the ground? My cleaning products and towels weigh more than the engine so far.

Ontario and you have no heat? You are very deserving of your handle.

Greg not as tough as you'd think I would rather have the heat.
The metal on my heat exchangers was all rusted When I bought the car so I cut it all
Off just in case there were holes in the header material. Don't need the fumes in cab.
Maybe one day I will spring for a set of SSI's with two in two out exhaust.

You gotta adjust those valves while that engine is out. Much easier job!

Adjusted them last winter with engine in, it would have been to easy to waite
for the engine to be out.
But may adjust again while out just because.
