ok so tonight im gona remove the engine from my 172 from the top.

problems are;

i am in the side single garage which is tiny! cant even get the jack under side on LOL
there is only me to do it
that time will include drianing all the fluids and removing the bonnet , bumper, slam pannel etc
all the driveshafts hubs etc are still on, even the wheels

i think the correct reason is that ben has enough engines to fit a new and different spec one for each month of the year... hes doing some real testing to find out what one and which modifications are best for his driving style .............. :clown:

getting it out the top is a bit trickier...maybe out by 10?? droppin the engine with the subframes easier..but kinda impossible without a ramp!

Did mine today, well refitted the engine.

I split gearbox and wedged that in place, then dropped engine in and mated it up with the box.
Took 15mins to get it in and bolted to the mounts.

That was after struggling for an hour to get them both in together:eek:
