Good luck!

Please put your year make and trim level in your sig. It helps us as we scroll down and read.
In addition to pulling the plugs, you should pull the drive belt and check all external parts for a lockup condition as well as inspect the harmonic balancer.

Well, we finally have gotten around to trying to tear the car apart. What we have found so far, by taking the oil pan off, is one rod cap is totally destroyed, the crank is bent, gouged and mangled. We are still trying to take the motor out of the car. We had to take off the rod caps just to get the motor to turn over so we could undo the torque plate bolts. Now we are fighting the one transaxle bolt to the motor that is the opposite way of the rest. We may end up just pulling the transaxle with the motor.
I will try to keep you posted as things go on.
Thanks
Christy

Well, we got the bolt out. A few bloody knuckles, but its out. Now we are trying to get the motor to separate from the transaxle and are finding it to be tough. We have all of the bolts out but we can't seem to get it to seperate.
Any suggestions???
