Sounds like you have practice. If it looks like I'm going to be getting a lot
of practice, I may come up with a different plan.
I have pulled a lot of engines from American cars for overhauls and what not,
but that was a long time ago. With me being rusty, and having a much less
ideal place to work, I won't tell you how long this one is taking me.
Good at it or not, there is still a lot of stuff to disconnect, fluids to
drain, etc. We used to pull an engine starting in the middle of the afternoon
and have it completely disassembled by closing time. The block, heads and
sheet metal parts would go into our chemical vat for cleaning overnight. The
next morning everything would come out and be pressure washed, then it would
take all day to reassemble the engine. This included cleaning the pistons, and
cleaning and grinding the valves and valve seats. Then the morning of the
third day we would put the engine back in and get it running.
