engine replacement

[DanViner]

I am just about to replace my vtr engine with a lower mileage one but the garage is quite low that we are using and wandering if i removed the whole front including radiator and slam panel could it come out that way easier using the crane obviously
Any help or ideas on this matter or swapping the engine over is a help as only done one before with college so a novice really

That is quite small I think we should be fine was it easier removing the front end like u did

[Mochachino]

Yeh quite abit easier, dosent take two mins either! Doubt it would of got out if i didnt remove the slam panal,bumper, grill etc

[matt_wolves]

what engine you putting in it?

[Saaamon]

I left all the front on when i've taken the engine out of my vts before and had no problem. I all do is just take the bonnet off and if you've got a nice saxo just put some decent rags over the wings, slam panel etc.

the roof on that garage is quite low, wouldnt of been able to get it out if i left all that on.

Ok well I will wrap mine up with rags and remove front end and bonnet just incase
