Another side of the road effort (didn\'t continue the removal how to as we were in a hurry today.)

Yes we cleaned up the slight mess on the side of the road parking area. Also, using the weights bar was a much easier way to move the engine! I live about 8 or so steps up from the road side, then a little walk.

Last time we used the engine hoist and alot of fannying about to get it up there. This time we used brute strength and carried it! lol.

PS : (my hands are sore now!)

The engine is now sitting in my spare room. Waiting to be ripped apart! :D

The oil lines, some coolant lines and the Downpipe needed to be taken off. Apart from that it was all good.

Took maybe 2 hours or so? The downpipe was being a right fanny!!

Possible water seal failure.
