hence, my interest.

LoveMy89Anya

btw, figure ill try one last time. anybody got an engine crane they can bring out for much needed use on/shortly after the 1st?

DocOrng XJ

you were close
but they were not hard working - if they were they would have done their job, which was not hard to do, in less than 30mins
they were lazy

* with a sigh * touche...meh. hey doc, any chance you might be interested in coming down to help me bring Anya back to life? im tryna get an extra pair of hands...its gotta be all done, old engine out, new engine rebuilt and in, all hooked back up, in a day, cuz thats all ill have the truck im renting for. helluva task right there.

You can have it....when I move up
Was questioned about your resume today....that's a good sign

pulltabmike

OMG LMFAO!!!!!

I would take a deep breath, step back and think this through. I have pulled a few motors in my day, and have never been able to get one out and installed in a day. Too many problems pop up that you don't anticipate and rushing is only going to lead to failure....

DocOrng XJ

hey that is good, for me
i take what i can get

im going to have to go with him on this one
we can pull an engine in a day for sure
but installing, done right, might take a couple days...

i think the fastest i ever did was on my camaro - took 3 days, only cause i had done it a couple times before and already knew what needed to be done + i had a 4 day weekend, so it allowed me for a couple 8 hr days

LoveMy89Anya

ok...pulling the engine wont be so much to do, its already halfway disconnected. a few more wires/hoses, and the motor mounts, and its out. either way, an extra set of hands would be wonderful. any takers?

pulltabmike

I have them in and out in 2 days, but that was with a fresh rebuild and a new wiring harness. I figure 3 days for replacing mine since the motor going in hasn't run for over a year, and I am also anticipating wiring issues...

For those that are curious, I needed front brake hoses changed, front pads/rotors, TC linkage adjusted *i have no 4lo atm*, full brake bleed and possibly a ujoint as it started making noise last night. I had planned on checking it while on the lift, but I'll just do it tomorrow.
