The Engine fit

We raised the rear end on the ramps because the video says its best to have the rear higher than the front during an engine fit, well what a waste of time! We struggled along for a while!.. And then we started again and removed the ramps.
It was a much better angle to put the engine in having the car sitting on all 4 wheels. It was very tight and we nearly resorted to removing the crankshaft pulley, but in the end we managed by pushing the engine over to the left hand side and it just squeezed in.

The Saga of the Engine Hoist

At first we decided to build our own Hoist, when it came to it we decided that it would take up too much precious "build time" so we thought about renting one. The first tool hire place we called wanted £45 for a weekend hire.
We then looked into buying one. We tried "Portland Tools" in Lincoln and they had a 1 ton engine hoist for £139 inc, so for just over 3 weekends worth of hire charges we could actually own one!
As we have the Granada sitting there and this will require the engine removal at some point and then if we decide to work on this engine and then fit it to the RH, we will have saved money by buying rather than renting.
So if anyone wants to borrow a spanking new hoist for £10 a weekend let me know.
I'm not so sure we should put this on the costings page because it could quite easily be used for other things such as our Mondeo should it play up anymore, but I will anyway.
