Engine drop advice...
All right, I need your guys' help. I need to replace the two major oil lines and I already removed the complete exhaust. The clutch is the original (104K) and would need to be replaced very soon. It also looks like the cam covers are leaking as well. I'm thinking about dropping the engine now and do a thorough cleaning, reseal, and clutch. Past records indicated that it was resealed at about 20K. However, the PO left the undertray on and this could have caused some leakage, not sure though. Being a new owner, I'm not that familiar with the G50 and what needs to be done or disconnected for a successful drop. Here are some questions:
* How difficult is it to bleed the clutch.
* Should I remove the rear bumber for more clearance.
* Is there anything I should remove on the top (i.e. heater blower, air cleaner, ect...)
* I heard that a motorcycle jack would be the ticket instead of a regular two ton. I saw one at Sears for about a hundy.
* Would I need a special engine stand.
* What other mods would you consider since I have the engine out. Be realistic, I'm on a tight budget.
I'm sure more questions will come up once I start this project. Thanks in advance for your comments and suggestions.
