Cracked Cylinder Repair: Pulling Out a Motor

DOUG JENKINS: Hi. I'm Doug. I work with 20 great guys in St. Louis at Doug Jenkins Custom Hot Rods, and we're going to do some work for you today on Expert Village. So we just lined up the hook there and grabbed the chain and, with any luck, we've picked a good spot on the chain there that will balance the motor nicely. So it came loose a lit bit and Dan is just going to wiggle it around, see if it's hung up on anything. You almost always forget to take something loose, so you go real slow when you're pulling an engine out. He's reaching around, making sure he didn't forget any bolts or wires. But, like I said, you almost always forget something, so be real careful as you're pulling it out to make sure you're not going to break anything. Now, it's looking like it's mostly clear. If you decide to have a second person help you as you're doing this, make sure they're real thoughtful. Never put your body in a position where you can get hurt if something breaks. Always plan on something breaking; that way, if it ever does, you won't be surprised and you'll be as old as Dan and I are and still have 10 fingers and toes. I don't know why it's not pouring coolant all over the place. It's probably going to wait until we have it right over a painted surface before it does that. You can work on an engine while it's hanging from a hoist like this, but do it so that the engine is real low to the ground and don't ever leave it hanging from the hoist overnight. Almost all of these affordable hoists will bleed overnight, and whatever you're planning on the engine, whatever parking spot you've picked for it will change overnight as the lift bleeds down.
