Me and my dad, with the supervision of a few neighbors (hah), took out the motor today.

The heat shield was a pain, my dad cut his hand on it pretty good...so we decided to take it out.

We spent about 20 mins trying to figure out what was keeping the motor from coming out. We checked every hose and line to make sure they weren't still attached to the motor.



As it turns out, we forgot to take off the shifter.

Tomorrow I'm going to put on the 12a front cover and figure out the shifter situation.
