I have the subassembly out of my project car and I think I have a pretty good idea of what happened to it. It looks like the belt got thrown, which of course means the water pump stopped, the engine overheated and the intake manifold looks like it started to melt. No idea what it looks like any farther in.
In addition to the above, all 3 motor mounts are trash. What I am trying to do is get the engine out of the assemby, but it's giving me some troubles so I wanted to ask those of you here who have done this what process did you use?
I can pull the engine and trans as one assembly, but I'll need to disconnect the driveshafts. That looks like it's going to be a hassle, especially with the assembly out now, so I'm hoping there's an easier way.
I've started by splitting the trans and I can get the engine and trans about 1/2 inch (12mm) apart before I'm stuck with what I believe to be some binding on the input shaft between the engine and trans and I'm not 100% certain there's enough room to get it out this way anyhow.
I've done some digging here and while I can find some threads on removing the subassembly, I haven't found any showing the removal of the engine itself.
Suggestions?
