Getting ready to replace an engine. Any tips from experience ?
Plan to pull radiator, clutch, trans, bell housing, install without fan, ribs, injector rail. There is a bracket up front that looks suitable for picker chain, what do we use rear ?
Is crank nut tightened once the engine is installed to drive line ?
How tough is rear seal to replace ?
Thank you,
Replacing engine

I didn't have trouble replacing rear seal, but it leaked again.

If you get the tool that Bavauto sells you can tighten it any time.
