Default Engine Drop Time Lapse

Dove in to my clutch/90k adventure yesterday, had the engine on the ground later this afternoon. Pretty tedious job but nothing was really terribly difficult, the PCarWorkshop article was a good primer and pretty accurate outside of a few socket/wrench size inconsistencies and a couple unnecessary steps. Total time from backing in to the garage to engine on the ground was 14 hours and 22 minutes, including breaks, head scratching and a couple holiday chit-chat calls.



Looking like my work is going to be rear-biased..



Fast forward:




And now that it's out, I guess I had better get started on the actual work!

I think the term "one man" engine drop is a misnomer as clearly from the video evidence, your cat was frequently called upon to give tips and advice.

It evident that you were merely unskilled labour, working under your cat's supervision............

That is cool. I like the elevator music. I agree with others, the cat is the brains of the operation. All you brought to the party was a strong back and a weak mind.
