Re: [doc] Engine Removal

["Stian Birkeland" <delorean@xxxxxxxxx>]

I hear what you say Martin.
Still - what is difficult with getting it back in?
Are you thinking of the alignment of the engine/gearbox?

Suppose I took out the tranny too, would the best way be to lift both 
out at the same time?

Thanks for the tips,
Stian
