Wow ... good goin'
I've changed one engine in my life and it was a PITA, never again ... but of course a new lawn mower isn't all that expensive, so chances are I won't have to. You didn't mention whether or not it's actually running ... and wouldn't a torque converter be with an automatic? Anyway ... good job. howie321,Aug 2 2007, 07:43 PM Wrote:finally got the new"er" spi dropped in, a bit of a pain but it was alright, i lost 5 pounds in sweat, i had to pick the HOTTEST day of the year of coarse too...

God, I remember the one time my dad did it years ago. It was an old Bonneville and the huge honking V8.... Even with an engine hoist he borrowed for the job I learned some great swear words :P

My dad and I swapped out an engine in the old Buick Skylark.
Wow...My dad could swear a sailor to his knees. The oil pan was fun too. I remember him having a shoebox of left over parts when he was done too! He didn't know where they went! :lol:

I did one in an older Ferrari with a couple friends and one of there dads...........the only hard part was going to Ferrari every day and ordering a new tool.
I drive a 2010 Golf that growls at people when it goes over 3000rpm.

Its not hard if you got the right tools...hoist, air tools, etc.
You just gotta make sure you have room and everything is disconnected. I was surprised at how easy it was once you got going. Mind you....its pretty clean under my car, so I dont deal with to much rusted out crap! The hardest thing for me was getting the fluids to land in the bucket and not on the new floor. :blink: :lol: ![[Image: ncclogo.jpg]](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v76/Flofocus/ncclogo.jpg)
