Best order for engine removal
Re: Best order for engine removal
What you must do is keep a systematic log of the order you take things off and keep all the parts you take off in that step, the part and it’s screws etc all together in a marked box, tin or all together on a shelf or whatever. This way you can reassemble the engine in the reverse order. Photos can be a help, easy with today’s digital cameras and phones.
I did this on an GM V-6 engine and decided at one stage to skip ahead and put on two parts, wrong. I had to take the last part off again because it fouled a part I had skipped over as it went on.
Parts come off in order 1, 2, 3 etc and go back on in order 3, 2, 1. This saves a lot of frustration and time.
If I recall two lift points are already on the engine and there is a lift point you have to add. A nice engine stand makes life easier, I made one from 2x4s locating on the engine mounts it was OK but more awkward than a good engine stand. Good luck.

Hardest part was getting the picker to move as I was on asphalt, had I been on concrete there would have been no problem at all.
I ended up using a 2X4 lever an inch at a time to get it away from the truck.

easier for reinstall, to make sure clutch, trans shaft lines up good.

miles on original ?
using new pressure plate, clutch and flywheel ?

Hi, I am changing my engine to a S500 v8, uprated clutch but keeping the standard 6 speed transmission.
Re: Best order for engine removal
one would think that with the nsg370 used in the jeep wrangler there has to be somebody to strengthen the trans, but none that I have found.
you still get your cruise control and all systems to work with josh's tune?
cruise control very important to me
Re: Best order for engine removal
let me know how the nsg370 holds out with the 279 torque rating, as long as you don't get in a habit of dropping the clutch and burnouts, would think it would be fine.
