<VV> Engine Install

[corvairduval at cox.net]

Put a bottle jack on the diff and jack the diff low to help with the angle
and not snapping off the snout.

Have the engine supported so it can be at an angle to the ground, or play
with various car angles to the ground and that jack on the diff to get the
engine path level to the ground. The latter is preferred, but sometimes not
achievable.

Subject: <VV> Engine Install


I'm about to install an engine in a friend's Corsa covertible.  The
transaxle is still in the car.  For years I have installed the entire power
train so I'm a little out of practice just doing the engine.  Any tips
other than don't break the collar of the diff?
