How long to remove an engine, RSi lump, so not as hard to get to everything as a williams.

Never taken one out before, rough guess.

Car is scrap, so any ****ed nuts will be simply cut, or the part of the car they are attached to cut, oh and its wihtout a hoist as well

just remove the head and lift the block out dude, my and my 43 yr old dad done it on his BMW 3.0ltr the other day, not that heavy.

Or dude, if u can wait till nxt weekend, my old man has a engine hoist you can borrow i supose, will run it by the old man 1st but shouldnt be a problem, but if you need to do it now, remove all the big bits till you have a pure block, undo the moutain bolts and lift it up, two at either side one at the front!

(ps, remove the bonnet 1st :D )
