Engine Removal Anyone !>
Hi,
I am trying to keep my class C 20' Dodge Sportsman "Travette" 360 engine Rv away from the crusher. Engine main seal leak got worse; from an occasional drip to a small stream. Also uses quite a bit of oil ( even before the leak was going through a quart every 200 miles !) It has 135-140 compression all around and no excessive smoke. With that half decent compression I am guessing the valve guides are gone
So I am considering rebuilding the engine, maybe replacing with a "crate" engine. Q. How do you remove the darn thing ! I have spoken to two shops ... one says they will remove the heads, oil pan, etc. and finally walk the block out the passenger door ! Basically remove and reinstall it in pieces . Another shop says you can remove the grill and some front end cross members and take it out the front !?
I have yet to take a close look ... but I think the bottom of the front grill cross member is spot welded. Any one know what the standard, recommended way to do yank the old mill out is !?
Thanks in Advance
