Re:whats your fastest engine swap time?
With help, getting a motor out of the car should only take you half an hour or 45 min. putting one back in shouldn't take too long either. the longest part for me is realizing that you did the whole wiring harness in red wire and taking 1927483 years to figure out which red wire goes where.

Excessive piston blowby = pressurized crankcase.
Pressurized crankcase = blow oil past the main seal.

Re:whats your fastest engine swap time?
I've doen a swap or 2... Nothing to brag about because each time I do a swap Im always teaching someone what does what and how it goes togeathor ect ect. But I don't think that anyone can beat my record on removoing the pass. side axle and putting another one in and filling tranny = 22min. It took another few min to double check everything and clean it all up so I could back the car out. I got really good at takin axles out cause I kept having to replace the axle seal....4 times thank you very much!

Re:whats your fastest engine swap time?
Me and beau have do swaps all the time, if its a D for D in a EG/EF/EK without PS and AC, your easily talking 2 hours tops in and out.
I'm not trying to brag, but I can rip these engines in and out so ------- fast people sometimes dont believe I do it. Example tommorow I'm doing a D15 to ZC swap, it should be real easy in & out.
You dont even need a fancy lift or even air tools for swaps to be this fast. I use electric impacts 3/8 and 1/2 guns and I never remove the tranny when doing a D swap. Harnesses always stays on the engine and comes off when is out of the car.
Maybe we should do a live web cam stream tommorow, haha..

BULLSHIT!
call it what you want, but when you are in a hurry and know what the ---- you are doing, its cake, just like jeff said.
