Engine Removal and Installation
See the Frame section for the procedure for remov-
ing the engine and transmission. See the Transmis-
sion section for the procedure to separate the trans-
mission from the engine.
There can be a variation in the maximum weight of
the engine depending upon the components that are
attached to it. The following minimum lifting capac-
ity is needed for an engine without coolant, lubri-
cants, or transmission:
1100 (VK) engines
600 kg (1323 lb)
Always use a lifting device that provides a vertical lift
above the engine lift brackets as shown in Figure 3.
Never use a single bracket to lift an engine.
Verify the engine brackets are correctly fastened to
the engine. Verify that the valve cover and other com-
ponents are not damaged by the lifting device. Use a
lifting device to lift and move the heavy components
of the engine: cylinder block, cylinder head, flywheel
housing, flywheel, and crankshaft.
