Engine Removal

[slakker]

Must you remove the transmission when removing the engine or can yu remove the crank pulley instead. I have to remove it to install a new timing belt as is. Has it been done and still keep the tranny in?

The MR2 needs the engine dropping but not the others. Defo not the Seo as I just had mine done. :)

I am replacing the engine with a JDM engine and while I have it out I am replacing the major components. Water pump, thermostat, oil pan gasket (clean out), oil screen. My question being when I swap should I pull the tranny out with the engine.

[slakker]

I meant that i have to remove the crank pulley to replace the timing belt so would it be easier to keep it off and replace engines without having to pull the tranny. If i kept the pulley off it would prob give me enough room to mate it to the tranny.

Much quicker and easier to drop engine and gearbox together and seperate out of car.
