Do you prefer the top or bottom?
I figured that would get your attention. The question is who has tried to remove their motor from the top (the conventional way) instead of dropping the drivetrain down? How much work is it to remove it the old conventional way and how long did it take you?

Pulling the motor from the top probably took 5 hrs with the drivetrain in place. I had to loosen the subframe almost to the point of dropping it, as well as having the top end off the motor.
Oh, sheeit, I went back and read your post, not just the topic as I did the first time. We're talking 'bout different things.
