April 6, 200916 yr I tell ya, pulling a EG33 is like passing a kidney stone I still need to pull the tranny and get the other engine/tranny prepped. New belts/tensioners, etc. Then hopefully my sale doesnt fall thru this month :-\ If I ever mention wanting another SVX project, I want anyone close by to hit me upside the head
April 6, 200916 yr I'll hit you upside the head for not enlisting my help. Glad to see it's coming along though.

April 6, 200916 yr thats ok....it might be a bear to pull out...but at least you dont have an 85 bolt timing cover like the EZ30's some bolts of varying lengths...
April 6, 200916 yr Looks like it would have been easier with the hood removed. One of the 1st things I do when removing an engine. They are a lot of engine!
April 6, 200916 yr Author I can't drive my car anywhere. Hmm? Get a hold of me. Looks like it would have been easier with the hood removed. One of the 1st things I do when removing an engine. They are a lot of engine! Normally, I remove hoods. But these are not light and theres just enough room to get it out. I might take it off to get the engine/tranny back in, as I'm thinking of doing it in one shot.
April 6, 200916 yr So thats what my SVX engine looks like. it's huge. Hopefully, this pic won't be useful to me anytime soon.

April 6, 200916 yr Author Rob, put that in your rally Impreza if you still have it. Hah......tempting, if it didnt have a bad rod knock.
May 10, 200916 yr Rob, what was your biggest hassle in pulling the engine? I am looking at either pulling an engine or tranny to see if I have a trashed flexplate, and am looking for the least painful method. (Maybe just shift the engine forward and mess with the plate while standing on my head???) I have a knocking noise that does not seem to increase under load (actually decreases under certain conditions), and I am thinking flexplate. Just looking at the engine, it didn't look like it would be that much different from an EA/EJ removal...
