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 Share on other sites More sharing options...
