Hi guys just a quick question, I have a impreza 2ltr turbo import on a 94 and unfortunately last night my engine started to rattle, so anyway what I'm asking is, is there anything that I should look out for when taking engine out, ie hidden nuts, bolts ect.
I have done few clutches on this so know a little bit about it just never had the engine out.
Any help will be much appreciated.

 

Not really I did mine myself just label everythingas you take it off, took me just under 2 hours to remove the engine, plenty of wd40 on the turbo bolts! Wiggy1

 

The issues ive had are the two studs on the bottom, that are hard to getinto due to the shafts! but just go canny.

Once the starter is removed you will see a 10mm plug, remove this and them screw a m6 bolt into the clutch pivit pin, then extract this, pull the clutch folk up and off the bearing, if you dont the engine wont come out

 

It's fairly simple to remove to be honest I usually start with the bottom gearbox bolts with them been difficult to get to if you dont do them first they get alot of tension on them later and near on impossible to get out due to space. Remove them and andys suggestion in the thrust bearing shaft and you can't go far wrong pal

 

Thanx for advice guys, I'll let yous know how I get on although it might take a few nights as I only get maybe 30-45 mins of daylight after work
