How to pull a Honda Engine for the most part. Im sure theres a few things I missed a few things but you get the point
I started at around 6:30 am on sunday morning with disconnecting the battery and unplugging the wire harness. Then I moved on to undoing all the grounds and bolted down wires like on the starter and alt. I did everything I could do without firing up the air compressor and making too much noise that early in the AM. I also swapped out the nice white valve cover for my old black one that has seen better days. I drained all the fluids and got ready to move on to making some noise. Heres a shot witht the wireharness out of the way and fluids drained.
So since im in no hurry and a little restrained by my lift I went ahead and pulled the bumper cover off as well as the bumper support so the lift has more reach. By now I have pulled the axles, header, shift linkage, secondary motor mounts, rear mount brace, ac compressor, starter and altenator, fuel and nitrous lines, intake tubing, wire harness, slave cylinder, coolant hoses, traction bars, etc. Now its time to lower the car and hook the chains up to the main motor mounts and pull out the motor.

and there ya go its out and ready for me to pull the tranny off and put my new intake mani on.
As you can see it took around three hours for me to get the motor out. I was really taking my time and doing everything I could to keep organized and not miss anything. I did take a few breaks to check on the baby and get a couple drinks. Im sure if I just got to it I could easily shave an hour off the time it took me this morning. Keep in mind that my engine bay is stripped of all the unnessary crap that is always in the way. So getting at everything in my car is very easy.
