I'm surprised as how smoothly it's going so far. When we removed the intercooler hoses, we noticed a coating of oil around the edges of the hoses, is this a normal thing? I'll update later with pics.

After a few hours of work, we got this much done. We took a break to go and get an engine hoist.

I never searched, but is there a really good thread somewhere on pulling an FD motor?

I think it starts with "cut off front clip"...

No seriously, I don't think there is a start to finish thread covering the topic, for any generation RX, hopefully I am wrong.
