If it was decided to remove the engine, then before that, carry out preparatory measures.
It is extremely important to determine the place where the work will be carried out. Undoubtedly, the best place is the workshop. It is very important to have an equipped working platform, as well as a place to store the car. If there is no workshop or garage, then a flat, smooth concrete or asphalt platform will be required.
Flushing the engine compartment and engine before removal will keep the tool clean and in constant working order.
You will also need a lift or hoist. Make sure that these devices have enough capacity and are able to lift the engine with all attachments. Safety is paramount, as lifting the engine from the vehicle is a potentially hazardous operation.
If work on removing the engine is carried out by an inexperienced person, then an assistant will be needed. Consult and ask for help from persons who have experience in performing such work. There are many ways to do the job of lifting an engine from the engine bay that don't involve doing it alone.
Plan your activities ahead of time. Prepare all necessary tools and equipment before starting work. Some of the tools that provide safety when removing and installing the engine, as well as reducing labor costs include (besides the lift) sturdy stands, a full set of wrenches and mandrels, wooden blocks, rags and solvent to clean up the inevitable puddles of spilled operating fluids. If you will rent a lift, then agree on this in advance and perform all work that does not require this mechanism. This will save money and time.
Keep in mind that you will not be able to use the car for a significant amount of time. To perform some work that is not available at home (due to the lack of special equipment), you will have to contact the services of a service station or a specialized workshop. These facilities are operating according to plan, so it would be wise to consult there prior to engine removal in order to accurately estimate the time required to repair and remanufacture parts.
When removing the engine, always be very careful. Careless actions and haste can cause serious injury. Think ahead about your actions. Do not spare time for this, since the main thing is work without injuries.
