Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Drain the Fluids

The first step is to drain the fluids from the engine. This includes the oil, coolant, and transmission fluid.

To drain the oil, place an oil drain pan under the engine and remove the oil drain plug. Allow the oil to drain completely.

To drain the coolant, place a coolant drain pan under the radiator and open the radiator drain valve. Allow the coolant to drain completely.

To drain the transmission fluid, place a transmission fluid drain pan under the transmission and remove the transmission drain plug. Allow the transmission fluid to drain completely.

2. Disconnect the Wiring Harness

Once the fluids have been drained, you need to disconnect the wiring harness from the engine. To do this, simply unplug the connectors from the engine.

3. Remove the Engine Mounts

The next step is to remove the engine mounts. The engine mounts are located on the sides and bottom of the engine. To remove them, you will need to use a socket set or wrenches.

4. Lift the Engine

Now you are ready to lift the engine out of the car. To do this, you will need to use an engine hoist. Attach the engine hoist to the engine and lift it slowly and carefully.

5. Remove the Engine

Once the engine has been lifted out of the car, you can remove it from the engine hoist. To do this, simply lower the engine onto an engine stand.

6. Install the New Engine

Now you are ready to install the new engine. To do this, simply lift the engine onto the engine mounts and bolt it into place.

7. Reconnect the Wiring Harness

Once the engine is in place, you need to reconnect the wiring harness. To do this, simply plug the connectors back into the engine.

8. Add Fluids

The final step is to add fluids to the engine. This includes the oil, coolant, and transmission fluid.

To add the oil, simply pour it into the oil filler hole. To add the coolant, pour it into the radiator. To add the transmission fluid, pour it into the transmission fill hole.

9. Start the Engine

Once the fluids have been added, you can start the engine. To do this, simply turn the key in the ignition.
