Are there any specific torques I need to worry about. I am going to pull the other engine out, are there any parts I should keep off this thing, any parts worth anything?
Thanks again, I will let you know how things go. I will try to do a step by step with photos, to help any future aspiring, "brainless" mechanics like myself.
thanks
use the lifting tabs, that's exactly why and only why they are there. You should torque the transmission components properly. I would keep the whole engine if possible, I still have my spare. Turbo, head, injection pump, intake, alternator, PS pump, etc,all very useful for spares
