It is extremely important to mark the place where the work will be carried out. Without a doubt, the best place is the workshop.

You will also need a lift or hoist. Make sure that these devices have a reserve lifting capacity and are capable of lifting the engine with all its components. Compliance with safety precautions is of paramount importance, as lifting the engine from the vehicle is a dangerous operation.
If engine dismantling work is carried out by an inexperienced person, an assistant is required. Consult and ask for help from people who have experience in such work. There are many types of work involved in lifting an engine from the engine compartment that cannot be performed by one person.
Plan your actions in advance. Agree on or obtain all necessary tools and equipment before starting work. Some devices that ensure safety during engine dismantling and installation, as well as reducing labor costs include: (besides the lift) sturdy stands, a full set of wrenches and mandrels, wooden blocks, rags and solvent for cleaning up the inevitable puddles of spilled liquids. If you are renting a lift, make arrangements in advance by completing all work that does not require this mechanism. This will save you money and time.
