I'm beginning to remove the my engine and tranny out of the car and was wondering if anyone has any tips. It's a d16z6 coming out of a 95 Civic. I've taken out the tranny for a clutch job but never taken out a honda engine.

The only thing I dont know what to do on is the sensors and the crap on the back of the engine.
What do you guys typically do with the sensors after you disconnect them?
I'm swapping another D16Z6 so I want everything to just stay as close as possible.
What about the emissions junk on the back of the engine?

Any other general tips?
I've pulled engines out of 2 camaros and some other junk but I'm a newb with Honda.

Thanks

 

I'm just getting a short block so I dont think it has any sensors.
The engine is going to come out the top.

I think I'm thinking about these sensors a little too much.
Should I just unplug the wiring harness from the strut tower, pull the engine, and worry about sensors later?

 

yea. its easy dont worry just unplug everything from the firewall to your motor and pull it out.

 

pull the engine and tranny together, itsa huge pain in the *** to pull just the motor

 

I read the chilton manual today and it said to remove the distributor - why?

 

Dizzies aren't something you want to be smashing into your firewall or anything like that, just one more thign to break.

That being said, ---- being safe, I left mine on, just go slowly, make sure everything is disconnected and that you're not catching on anything.

Don't over think the sensors, there are tons of diagrams on the net that tell you which goes where, and they're all straightforward anyways.

 

if your that worried about sensors and forgetting where crap goes, use makeing tape and label it before you pull the motor

 

makes life simpler if it's your first time

 

when taking it out the bottom how to you get the car high enough?? i want to pull my engine now that i have a beater to change rings and ----. i don't have a hoist or an engine stand.
