Engine bay advice

[beero]

Engine out without a hoist is possible. Did mine on my own BUT everything was stripped off including the head. When I had rebuilt it on the bench I couldn't lift it so a hoist is essential for putting it back.

The engine can be taken out with the help of a rope and another person.....and some careful planning. But I DO NOT RECOMMEND IT! An engine hoist from Machine mart is a very worth while investment, now nothing of mine has its engine in!

Thanks Guys,

Would a 1tonne capacity be sufficient or is more required.

Think ours is the 1 tonne from Machine Mart

You can do it on your own with only a trolley jack, it's a bit of a handful though.
1 tonne could pick up the whole car so should be fine

Polo. Is that 2-pack gloss?

I think it may have been, was a few years ago though. I borrowed an air fed mask and piped the compressor intake to the outside world
Even though I was fully covered I didnt have a paper vapour suit on so, hands up Im daft!

Oh and if were showing off (even thought I havnt stripped it yet)



Im sure theres something shiney somewhere!
