Nice of you to volunteer

asaturn · 01-03-2013, 06:04 PM

I am one guy! also, while I realize 2 strong people could lift the engine... it is very low in the very tiny/cramped car and covered in grease. lifting it by hand while bending at your back is not exactly the safest idea.

I've got one. Got a way to pick it up? How long do you need it? I'm in South West Seattle.

asaturn · 01-03-2013, 08:05 PM

depends... does it come apart like a normal lift? I have a small sedan I can borrow from my girlfriend...

I'll need it for 2-3 days (prob over a weekend) depending on if I run into complications and need to pull the new engine back out for whatever reason. hopefully just need it for a day.

You doing an EJ swap or just dropping in another EA82/81?

asaturn · 01-03-2013, 08:18 PM

it had an EA71 (1.6L) -- base model Standard -- no carpet, no 4WD, junk seats... no rear defrost or rear wiper even!

I'm dropping in an EA81 (1.8L) and hopefully a 4WD trans one day.

It does disassemblen, normal cherry picker.

Have you got the other one all ready to drop in? If so, maybe I can just drop by with it, help you pull the other one and drop the new one in. Should only take 10 minutes, I've done that one a million times.

Pm me either way,

asaturn · 01-03-2013, 09:23 PM

yep, other one is ready. PM'd
