Hi there.
I'm new and looking for some good advice.
I hope I'm in the right place.
My ticket to fishing and the great outdoors needs some work so I'm pulling the engine. It's a 22re (rebuild) and since I've got to do the timing chain and head gasket, I figure I should pull the whole thing. It used allot of oil too. Possibly time for another rebuild? Ring job?
I've read that pulling the transmission is a good idea when removing the engine.
When my engine was rebuilt (not too good a job was done I think) they just pulled the motor.
Is this advisable? It looks easier than pulling the the engine and tranny together.
Any advice is welcome and apreciated!

ps: I'm at the point where I could go either way with it. I've got an engine stand, and my engine is stripped as far as it needs to be (head is off and to the machine shop and back again).
