Evo went under the knife

[travail]

Well I found out that I have to put in new main bearing so out came the motor and the tran. But now I can clean up the engine bay and so on. I will up date when ever I can.

did you end up being able to pullit out the topside?

Considering that the motor is hanging from an engine hoist and the car is on jack stands as opposed to a lift, I think it is safe to assume it was lifted out of the car.

Yes it came out the topside and it was not that bad.

I have pulled my engine I think 4 times and I have always dropped it out the bottom.

[Goat Blower]

If you've got a lift, out the bottom would be easy. If not, it would be pretty difficult.

[mike55112]

I did it without a lift twice and still dropped it out the bottom, once without a engine lift even. I didnt have the head on once.

That's crazy that someone drilled through the wiring harness like that. Make sure you inspect all those wires!
