Removing the Engine

On saturday 19th march the engine was to come out of the car, not an easy job, it took us almost 6 hours to do it, the Jalpa is much easier...

The problem is the accessability of the hundred things you need to disconnect, f.e. don't forget the water tube for the heating. And another hint, you have to remove the stabilizer bar...

Taking the engine out is also a problem of tools, since the engine has to be tilt nearly in vertical position to get it out. For this the car should have enough ground clearance otherwise the gearbox will touch the ground and you can't move further on...
