To remove engine without transmission, proceed as follows:

Remove fan blade assembly, pulley, and all belts. Disconnect power steering pump and move aside (do not disconnect hoses).
- Remove starter, and support transmission at front end.
- Raise engine with 3-point suspension as follows: Use adapter plates or eye bolts at the 2 center cylinder head bolts in lower row on each head. Attach chain or hoist to water outlet pipe.NOTE: Chain at water outlet pipe must be as tight as possible to prevent engine from tilting forward.
