finally got my engine out

Featured Replies

Ok so this is probably no big deal for all of you seasoned mechanics out ther but it is for me! I finally pulled my engine this weekend - it was my first time to pull one and I didn't have any help from someone who knew how to do it (except for lots of advice from 240Z.org buddies). Since my car was totally stripped I had to roll it around on a set of dollies I'd built. When I finished I found that one dolly was enough for the car so the other now is a transmission cart. The engine is safely up on an engine stand so I can find that nasty leak I've got. I'm almost ready to send the rusted out chassis to a scrapper - after pulling a few more things. Here are a few pics!

Check out the oil on the transmission. Is this normal when there's a bad oil leak or could it be something else? The entire back end is oily on top and bottom.

And here's the chassis sitting on one 4-wheeled dolly. It just happened to be close enough to the center of gravity that it won't fall - and it's really easy to move.
