Engine removal technique with oil.

[Guest]

I know how to remove an engine but do I have to drain the oil before doing so? Also if not is it safe to remove all oil connections to the cooler and temp gauge, etc without draining it?

I can't drain it as I JB Welded shut the bolt to the oilpan so I was able to ride it back home.

If you are removing the engine you would likely have the exhaust removed. If this si the case you could remove the oilpan itself.

Or you could take of the generator cover and lean it over carefully.

I assume you do not want to re-use the oil.

I know I could do that but I really dont want to deal with the mess and I'm gonna try to do it within the next hour while theres a break in the rain. I really dont care what happens to the engine, I'm probably just gonna lift it and push it out and let it lay in the street til I get around to taking it apart.

I just wanna make sure I don't have to worry about oil leaking everywhere by removing the hoses.

Haha, surprisingly my bolt tightens and loosens the way its supposed to. Its all drained and all unhooked. Should I pull it or keep it in the frame til we swap it so its easier to move?

JB Weld is for girls!! Take cold chissel and chip it off there.. then get a "plus one" drain bolts from auto zone..do a search here for more details. drain the oil and pull the engine from the frame.

JB Weld was a temp fix so I could get home after my near fatal or possibly fatal mishap on the highway when my plug broke off and vibrated out.

I'm not gonna do anything to it, engines trash.
