Engine drop checklist - SC
 

Hey, all -

I was cleaning up the garage today and I came across my handwritten engine drop checklist. I know there are differences in model years, so I thought I'd post this for any SC owners out there.

- Disconnect battery
- Remove fuel pump relay
- Drain oil from sump
- Drain oil from tank
- Disconnect transmission shift coupler linkage (inside car)
- Disconnect 14-pin connector to fuse panel
- Disconnect 6-pin CDI from engine wiring harness
- Disconnect O2 sensor
- Disconnect transmission ground strap
- Disconnect hard oil line (right side of engine to thermostat)
- Disconnect and remove rubber oil line
- Disconnect battery to starter wire
- Disconnect clutch cable, arm & helper spring assembly
- Disconnect reverse backup switch from back of transmission
- Disconnect speedo cable from side of transmission
- Disconnect breather hoses
- Disconnect accelerator linkage bar
- Disconnect cruise control cable (if present)
- Unbolt axles from transmission
- Disconnect 6-pin CIS wire (back of engine bay near cruise servo)
- Disconnect fuel lines
- Disconnect vac lines
- Unbolt axles from transmission
- Disconnect and remove rear sway bar
- Remove rear bumper valance (optional, depends on your engine drop method)

If A/C equipped:
- Remove A/C compressor belt
- Disconnect A/C compressor bracket & support compressor on side of car (be careful to protect paint)

Hope this helps... happy motoring!

I am wondering if pictures might even be more helpful.

Probably, but all I have right now is my notes. Engine drop was over a year ago. :)
