I assume you dropped it out the bottom? How long did it take? |

Purely for interest's sake, did you open the old engine to see how badly damaged it was? Was it just the top end or had it damaged pistons and/or big ends? |

they can come out the top, but its harder and less clearance, much easier to drop it down. 10 hours is not too bad for a first attempt and at home |

Good work on the engine swap! I've had the dubious pleasure of doing this myself recently. I took it out the bottom as well, but if I had to do it again, I'd try and take it out the top. I believe you have to take off the crankshaft pulley as it fouls the bonnet catch but otherwise it would save alot of aggro removing all the steering gear. |

Mine has been out the bottom every time (there's been a few...) and that is working with a dealer trained technician. Admittedly it's with the benefit of a 2 post lift, but he wouldn't entertain coming out the top. |

I suppose it would depend on what I was doing, if I was doing a clutch or front end re-seal then you could drop the whole lot attached to the subframe. If I was changing the engine, then I would definately have a go at taking it out the top. Getting all the steering/suspension lined up again is a pita. |

crank pully is no real hardship but either way out its no easy task |

The crank pulley is not really the problem, its the clutch housing that gets in the way |
