Makes it easier to slip the engine in and out without having to lift it over the grill.  (might be working in a garage.) Although if he's taking the whole driveline out in one piece he'd need to.  It'll also gives you a bit more room to work with.  It doesn't take more then 5 minutes to remove once the radiator is drained.  Just a suggestion in any case.

^ yea, lifting a motor out over the grill inside a garage i think would be impossible (i'm talking your typically 8-9ft ceiling or whatever it is) I know at my parents house I was inches away from the roof pulling the motors out of accords/civics/integras that were only inces off the ground.

To the maker of this thread... what is the damage report on the motor? is the head in good shape? I may buy it from you  :wink:
