Engine stand turned up.

OK so got cracked on today with the strip down....

Took the weight of the engine with the crane and undid the passenger side engine mount completely, lift the engine up until I could pull that mount out, then jacked the gearbox up to support so I could wiggle the engine forward extracting the gearbox input pinion from the back of the crank. Then just a case of lifting the engine out, it only just cleared the skuttle panel with some persuassion - going to have to think hard about how to lift it back in with the head on....

did you replace core plugs whilst its out ,i would , you could fit engine back in without head and fit that once its in
 
Earlier I mentioned that one of the torx screws had rounded which holds the oil pickup to the stiffener plate.

These are M6x20mm (Part no LYP101160 ) - is there any reason why I couldn't/shouldn't just replace these with hex bolts?
 
no but you can see where the seal has worn a ring on the crank,so possibly just a slight weep etc.
