Might be a crazy thought, but those crazy thoughts, turn into crazy happenings! This one with clear intension of 'cleaning!'
In a nutshell, remove engine - clean clean clean and then re-fit! (That's the plan?!). Sound easy on paper ey!
Is this relatively straight forward, bear in mind I have nothing to start this epic task. I just want to get a feel for what I might be thinking of doing and would like your thoughts and advice on this.
I understand that I will need a hoist of some form and many tools. Is this something that can be achieved on the driveway. What sort of time would removal take and is there a lot of post fitting work to consider?
Any advice would be hugely appreciated! Maybe someone has done this before and may be able to share their experiences. I can't seem to find a thread or anything in the 'how to' sections.
Cheers everyone,
Andy

Why not clean it while it's in the car, it's a lot easier and cheaper because of all the tools you would need if you have nothing?
