Removal of Engine

[Flexer]

Hey,

I am currous how hard it is to remove the engine in a NSX? If someone has the shop manual do they explain it in there? Also if they do could you maybe scan that into a picture or txt file for me ?

The entire 1991 service manual is online. Broadband connection is recommended.

Oh wow,

I just read through the engine removal. Anyone other than a mechanic actually done this. I would consider myself decent when it comes to working on cars. I rebuild the top half of my old 88 Conquest TSI three times with no problems. But when reading through the removal of a NSX engine things started geting crazy when I relized that the rear suspension comes out with the engine. Did I read that part right? Can you say whoa. I guess my question now is. Has anyone ever blown the seals on there car? I can rebuild the top half of a engine easy. Its when you start having to drop the cyl's and replacing seals things could get tuff.

Read toward the bottom....

I bet most of you would have paid to see how we got the engine out of the car without a lift.

Which seals, on the crank? There are certainly some delicate issues on the bottom end, but you may be underestimating the top. I pulled, completely disassembled, reassembled and replaced the rear head on an NSX and it a major project. By comparison the bottom end doesn't look all that bad.
