Hints for putting engine back in
 

Just a quick one guys and this is aimed at the people whom have put an engine in a scoob while the gearbox is still in the car.

A few weekends back we fitted the gearbox back into the car and tomoz I am going to bolt the engine back in, with the gearbox where it is.

Is there any tips or things to avoid doing, any advice would be great.

1st bit of advice , take gearbox out and fit engine :-)

Krissy, someone will give you some usefull info mate

It's not to bad a job you might need to lift the gearbox up at the front and just line the input shaft up with the spindles on the clutch other than that a simple job

Brilliant thanks matey

Have engine hoist if you need one.

all done chaps took about an hour all in all

great job krissy,when do you think it be up and running

Couple of weeks mate , fingers crossed I have to order some goodridge sleeving and fluids then sort fuel system out.

My mechanic took mine out and refitted it without touching the gearbox and only about 1.5hrs each way

Cool mate must be awesome if he didn't touch the gearbox aS the engine is connected to the gearbox....... P.s I think I know what you mean ;-) , it was my first attempt so I think it went okay

Sounds like you did well mate.
Its a bitch when its not up in the air on a ramp

do you now thats handy to know.

Wow and hour for it to be all in and bolted up is real good.. I took me 3 hours to take the engine out on my own, and 2 hours to put back in also on my own..

Thats awesome on your own fella I couldn't have done it on my own
