Hi

Whats the best and easiest way to remove a yb cossie engine from a sapphire?

All complete or in sections?

Ive got the use of a engine crane

Has anyone got a tips?

Cheers
Mark

 

2wd or 4x4?

 

hi

Sorry its a 2wd

 

Easy enough to just pull it complete
Disconnect it from the gearbox then it'll come up out the top easy enough

 

Is that with the inlet and turbo still fitted

 

Yeah, will come out complete east enough,
Sometimes find it a bit easier if you take the crank pulley off for a bit extra clearance
But its not realy req'd

 

I took my 4x4 out recently, I had the car in the air and replaced the 4 beam bolts with really long threaded bar and just wound it down to the ground with a ratchet spanner. Less exhaust and turbo.

 

4x4 is differant to 2wd
The front diff etc gets in the way, so cant pull it out the top as easily

 

Cheers jamie it sounds easy enough,
Still not looking forward to it though lol

Cheers

Hi Mark

I took mine out yesterday so very fresh in the memory

Drain the water
Take the rad and intercooler out that way you wont damage them if it jumps forward as it comes out.
The sump can be a bit tight as it comes by the crossmember.
Remove the two 17mm (spanner size) nuts on top of the engine mounts.
Support the weight of the engine on the crane
Un bolt the engine mounts from the block four 13mm bolts each side
Suport the gearbox with a jack as you lift the engine up till the bell housing is just about against the tunnel.
Oviously diconect all the usal bits ( Remove the starter and all the bell housing bolts 6 in all Plus one small bolt at the bottom edge of bell housing.
Disconnect all the wiring conections ( injectors,coolant temp sensor back of head on inlet side,distributer,air temp sensor on plenim,tps sensor on throttle housing,earth wires front of head inlet side,crank sensor connector on bracket behind distributer.
Heater hoses at back on bulkhead.
Map sensor pipe from plenim

If your going to strip the engine you can always take the head off first as that makes it even simpler

Don't be in too much of a hurry as it comes out and keep checking there is nothing still conected or snaging
Hope that helps

Cheers Tim.
