Message	Clip pick up from the engine place with the Uhaul. Tie a tow rope to the tow hooks on your Z and start pulling .. Keep pulling ... Take some pics to remember Support the ramp so it wont break Almost off the truck .. keep pulling ... Shorten the tow rope .. The clip is finally off the truck ! Now you need to perform a miracle in order to get your Z out of the garage .. oops we pulled the clip too close.. the black Z alsmot got stuck in the garage .. Now that the Z is out ... you will need to do some pushing it order to get the clip completely in the garage .. Finaly the clip is in the garage !!! What a night ... Checking out the engine ... Good night .. we gotta sleep now so we can pull the engine out tomorrow ... OK we are back the next day ...after cutting off many connectors and hours of removing parts .. we got to the part where we could pull it out .. It's out !!! Everything looked good ... many new parts and hoses ..timing belt, water pump ..etc .. all done 4K miles ago (comparing dealer service sticker to mileage on dash) oil pan was also resealed .. new turbo oil return hoses etc .. The only problem was leaky valve covers .. caused the oil to leak all over the engine .. we resealed the exhaust valve covers only and that did the trick ! Here are pics of the final results .. the engine runs very smooth and strong ...I kind of regret now not slapping on some bigger ball bearing turbos from JWT while the engine was out .. But at the time I could never tell how well the engine would run ! I HAVE A LOW MILEAGE 5 SPEEDS MANUAL TRANSMISSION FOR SALE IF ANYONE IS INTERESTED .. SEE PICS ABOVE .. EMAIL ME IF INTERSTED .. ALSO AVAILABLE .. VERY CLEAN SILVER HOOD ORIGINAL PAINT.. NO DENTS The trouble with doing something right the first time is that nobody appreciates how difficult it was.
