Engine Removal Difficulty

It is just as much of a pain in the a$$ to remove as most every other engine out there

There is a DIY in the Factory Service Manual which you can download from links found on this forum

The level of "pain in the ***" is a factor of how high you can lift the car. The guy who put my turbo kit in tells me that he can have the motor/trans out as a unit inside of 1 hour. Granted, he just unbolts everything and lifts the car off the subframe with the motor/trans still attached to it.

If you're considering doing this on jack stands, you might want to reconsider.

Yeah, I was just assuming that the guy asking for a DIY on engine removal does not have the tools or knowledge to properly attempt the project. For someone with no experience removing engines, it's going to be a pain in the a$$ even if you have the tools to lift the car off the subframe.

I did a transmission drop on jack stands with knowledgeable help. No fun. At all. I can't imagine how fun it would have been to take the engine out
