12/15/2003: Removing the Engine
Tonight I rented an engine hoist and pulled the engine. I removed the 4
bolts that hold the transmission mount to the subframe and transmission and
supported the back of the transmission with a floor jack.
I then removed the two nuts which hold the engine mounts to the subframe. I
With the steering fully to the left (to give a bit more clearance around the
steering linkage), I was able to lift the engine up a bit and then forward
to get the oil pan over the subframe. Then I started lowering the back of
the transmission and raising the front of the engine.
At this point my cheap load leveller broke and I had to fiddle with it to
get it somewhat functional (I reversed the threaded rod, removed the handle,
and added another nut to help prevent it from slipping, as the threaded part
of the sliding section was stripping out).
At that point I was able to get the engine tipped enough to clear the front
of the engine bay. I couldn’t tip it back to a level position once it
cleared this, so I had to lift the tail of the transmission up and over the
fender.
I put the engine down on the floor and removed the transmission, clutch, and
flywheel.
At this point I found that I didn’t have long enough bolts to mount the
engine to my engine stand, and had to call it a night. Tomorrow I hope to
find some suitable bolts (M12x1.5mm, and odd size) before I have to return
the hoist.
Yay, empty engine bay!

This pickup has two tubes instead of one, and is designed to mix air with the media as it picks it up. I also picked up a flexible hose from them which connects this pickup to the blasting gun. This turned out to be a good thing, because the pickup is a larger diameter than my old one and the old hose wouldn’t have worked. But the new hose fits right over the old hose on the gun end, so everything’s a perfect fit. I also had to cut an opening in the screen that sits at the bottom of the blasting cabinet (above the media) to allow the pickup hose to go through. This was easy though, it’s just a thin metal screen.
