subarubrat Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 You CAN, but in my experience, it is faster and less frustrating to just snatch it out and deal with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gsrxrsx68 Posted December 13, 2004 Author Share Posted December 13, 2004 I'd love to, car needs this, that and the other thing also. I don't have any place descent to work on it though, so I look a the car itself as a parts container. It is a sucky situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subarunation 713 Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 I'd love to, car needs this, that and the other thing also.

You do not have to take the engine out. The professional mechanics seldom will. There are 2 engine mounts to unbolt, take the exhaust off (after saturating the manifold nuts and studs with penatrating oil) put a big ol thick piece of wood under the oil pan and jack up the engine as far as it will go. If you have the right shop with engine lifts and a place to work, then heck yeah, it would be much nicer to pull it. However if we are in the same boat, outside in the cold rolling around on a gravel driveway with no garage, then leave the engine in.
