Does the engine need to be removed to change the seals?
Any and all thoughts are appreciated! |

The simple fact of any mid-engine car is that it is easier to do service with the engine removed from the car.
In less than the time it takes to screw around trying to remove all that stuff working under the car - I could have the engine/trans/heat exchanger/muffler assembly dropped out of the car. Obviously it takes longer to do anything if it’s the first time you ever dropped an engine. At that point it’s all in the open, easy to get to, and less likely to have collateral damage working on stuff. The other thing is that once you’re no longer an engine drop virgin, you don’t need to worry about doing it again, and again, and again. Heck you might even discover you like dropping the engine. |
