Need to put my engine back in my S2, can it be put in from underneath or do I need to hire a hoist?

Cheers

It can be put in from underneath but i think you need to put the gearbox/mounts in at the same time ie.drop the box out.might be wrong but thats the only way ive seen it done.Why not drop it in?its not too hard.I did mine on my own without the head on of course.F**kin killed my back for three days though.

 

i put mine in from top with gearbox already in and head on, box was loose so made it easier to align them up. jus watch the drivers side inner wing's paint!!

 

vroooom ptssssh, and the slam panel as i had every thing on mine inlet outlet manorfolds on and the box ,

i went in from the top a lot easyer m8 and you can do it on your own as i found out went to ring a couple of m8s and they had all dissaped (that happened alot

 

lol alan, i had inlet and zorst/turbo on mine, gearbox already in, had to put it in at an angle to get it onto the box........2peeps is allot easier than 1 i tell the!! eeee heee

 

Never tried to put it in from top, always been from bottom, never had any probs that way!

 

aye,,,,thats wot she said,,,,shaaahmmbahhm,,mudder forka

 

Too many cans Alan?

 

in from the top is the way to go, tilt the box up (jack under the bell housing) to aid slipping it on, quick and easy if u have a couple of mates, best off makin sure everythin i out of the way, cables and that, save a lot of swearing and time lifting

 

every engine i've had out has been done from the top with a hoist

 

I lifted my engine and gearbox in complete from underneath

 

ive done 8 and thay have all been from the top and on my own with the head of.,

 

if ur lifting it with out the head on how the hell r u doin this, bare back or still with a hoist. i went through the bottom ooo err in one piece box bottom end head etc. had a hoist and a 2 poster so much easier

 

well its not easy mate ive been taking head and alternator of made some brackets so i can fix to block using the head bolts put some rope around it and lift it over front panel, when i lower it down i lower it on to a jack then finish the rest of like that. yes on my bare back. remember ive done 8 this way and the more you do it the easy it gets .
