ok, this isn't directed specificly to the 200 but just engines in general.
Are head bolt threads accptable points to use when removing an engine? Will they hold the weight of an engine and trans? if so is 4 bolts enough or should more be used? last question: does the head even have to be removed or could i remove just run longer bolts through the head into the block?
Thanks,
Paul
The local jarheads at the auto parts place who are at best very unhelpful told me that i need to use the engine mounts as lift points. This seems difficult since there are only one on each side and there would be no way to balance the engine. and id have to jack the engine up to remove the mounts. They are wrong right?
