 Engine Replacement Prep – “PART 2” time-lapse')){kind=link}
It's crazy that you need to drill off structure to do a motor change. I guess this whole assembly goes in from below at the factory and they assume that you will drop the whole subframe assembly with motor and transmission if you need to do a motor change. I don't have a car hoist so I'm faced with an issue and I need to change my motor.
How did you remove the top radiator crossmember ? Did you drill through the spot welds on each end ? Did you spot weld it back on or did you use bolts and nut or rivets ?
everything looks fine , but question ? why you took the headlights off?
