Guest Report post Posted July 17, 2015 It is very easy.. I finish work at 16:00. The last time I took the engine out of mine, I finished work, went home, changed and had the engine out by 18:05.The UK cars don't have those fuel line connectors.I cannot believe they lifted the engine on the plastic manifold!!!

iddrew 86 Report post Posted July 17, 2015 From what i can see they're actually using the engine hoist mounts not passing the chain under the manifold! i was shocked too! So if we don't have those fuel line connectors, how do our fuel lines connect? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Report post Posted July 17, 2015 There is a bolted on lifting bracket on the rear right of the engine. For the front, there is an M14 x 1.5 tapped hole next to the air con compressor. I have made a lifting tool using a long bolt and a 7/16" eyebolt.. you can see it here..The fuel lines on UK cars have jubilee clips holding the rubber pipes to the steel pipes.
