I'm thinking it's a good idea to fix this before it get too much worse.My question is: After removing the gearbox, fans and radiator etc, can the engine be lifted straight out the top or are there clearance issues requiring a balance bar etc?Thanks Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/88315-bfii-turbo-engine-removal-head-gasket-leak/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
