ENGINE REMOVAL / ASSEMBLY
Removal
step by step
start by BUYING A SHOP MANUAL AND READING THRU THE PROCEDURE<
ITS always best to have a helper and a few basic safety tools like a fire extinguisher, cell phone, and use decent JACK STANDS, a LIFT and a DECENT ENGINE CRANE
working on a flat concrete surface and driving the corvette up on decent ramps to give you jack / frame clearance , AND THINK THRU ANYTHING THAT WILL GET YOU POTENTIALLY HURT.
OK first you DON,T raise a vette one corner at a time! you drive it up on the ramps to get clearance for the jack then slide the floor jack under the center of the front (CROSS MEMBER) and lift the front and place BOTH front 12 ton jack stands, then the angle allows you to either use a second floor jack or move the front floor jack to the rear of the vette, and lift the whole back and place both REAR 12 ton jack stands.
now personally I usually leave the rear jack stands and the jack holding the rear up ,and the 12 ton jack stands on the front with the tires hanging just above the ramps, that way theres almost no chance the vette can fall, even if some component were to fail.
Ill ALSO point out I have and have always used two floor jacks, twin rino ramps and 4 12 ton jack stand WHEN I was under the corvette as I don,t want to be doing bench presses with a vette!
