I have 45 pictures, heres a couple..



I grabbed a work truck and picked up an engine hoist at my friend Dave's house,

and I finally got the motor out.



Took about an hour, going slowly.. All preliminary work was done, just unbolt the

engine/tranny mounts, and chain it up..

Also when I pulled the driveshaft out yesterday, I noticed some wear (from

debris?) in the machined end that goes in the tranny..



Curious if I should be concerned about it or not..

Your engine bay looks like it has been on fire.

This is the first engine pull I've ever done on an RX7. It went very smoothly and

easily.



The engine bay used to be red, but someone did a shitty black paintjob to the whole car, and the engine bay paint they did was even shittier. And it's dusty from sitting for the past 5 months during winter..

This is the only forum I'm not afraid to post the before-pictures before the after-pictures.



Next few weeks, you'll see pics of a glossy black engine bay, that's the reason the motor came out.
