engine removal/lifting - daveylennon93 - 08-07-2014
Have the engine ready to be lifted out, goin to lift it with a telehandler
Question is wats the best setup with chains or whatever i use to make sure im able to tilt the engine to clear the chassis?
Also might do the head gasket while its out. Is tgere any way of knowin how many notches is on the gasket before lifting off the head?

A hell lot easier with one person controlling the lift mechanism (tractor) and one person guiding the engine out, I can imagine it being a bitch on your own due to gearbox needing a nudge toward the bulk head as it comes out.
