1. If the engine needs to be removed for overhaul, perform a few preliminary steps.
2. Choosing a place to work is extremely important. You will need sufficient working space as well as a garage where you can leave the car for the period of repair.
3. Cleaning the engine compartment and engine/transmission before starting the removal procedure will help keep the operation clean.
4. A special winch or A-Frame of sufficient capacity will be required.
5. If you are removing the engine for the first time, you will need an assistant. The advice and help of a more experienced person would also be helpful. One person cannot simultaneously perform all the steps required when lifting the engine from the vehicle.
6. Plan your work ahead of time. Before you get started, get all the tools and equipment you will need. To remove and install the engine, in addition to the winch, you will need: a heavy-duty jack, a full set of wrenches and sockets, wooden blocks, rags and solvent for cleaning and wiping up spilled oil, coolant and fuel.
7. Part of the work will have to be entrusted to an auto repair shop, because. it requires special equipment to do so. Agree on this in advance.
8. Be extremely careful when removing and installing the engine. Careless operation can result in serious injury.
