I did some research, checked my w... -

I would like to do it myself, BUT I really want to take the engine out, and I don't own an engine hoist or engine mount.

Just did full valve job, belts, pulleys, water pump, etc... Done many before so pretty good at it. No corners cut. Fel-Pro gasket sets, etc... The car runs smooth and idles great.
