For those who have pulled out a 4A-G series engine, out of the 86's. Is it worth the time pulling the tranny out with the engine, or can I go at the engine by itself? I would rather the later as tools, and resources are not abundent.

easier engine alone.
just pull the bolts off the bell housing and yank it out.

Thanx Peter. Tell your brother to check my pic's ... I found things in the head, and wonder about that engines history!

Which one did you pick up?
What did it say on the valve cover in the marker?
and check the exhaust camshaft.
The engine which initially came with the black 86 had a blown engine.
The dizzy gears got stripped where it connects with the exhaust cam.
There was metal that went throughout the engine.

It said All Motor... The exahust cam looked fine. your not telling me I bought a blown motor are you?

yeah, i think you bought a blown one.

i think thats the blue top motor.

I'm not 100% sure if it is blown or not
but i'm pretty sure it wasn't working right, or else we woulda left that motor in =D
don't quote me on that though
