Tips on removing engine and transmission

You have to get in there front/back with a trouble light and 'finger' it out. If you can't rock the engine on the jack and get it to slide back a little, than you've missed a bolt.

the lower nuts do need to come off, just dont move the uppers as they are what holds the adjustment.

Thanks Bradey Bunch, None of the manuals refer to these bolts. Since I am working a vehicle like the 412, I am not in any hurry to break things since going to the stealership is not an option. Hopefully I will have this baby up and running soon. I just need to replace oil seals and fuel line. Positive thing is it ran well when I got it.

Sounds like something changed in your preferences so its not dumping your cookies. Also you may have checked that box that says keep me logged in.
Its also possible that your anti-virus is not up to date of turned off. I had that happen once. So instead of dumping cookies and trash every time it updated....it was not updating so none of those little things were happening. Things worth looking at! Ray

It is out and I can finally clean it up. There is a lot of oil in one of the heat exchangers from oil leaks, does any one have any good tips for cleaning that up? Also I unfortunately pulled out the oil pressure switch wire (it got caught on something when pulling out the engine.

Can anyone tell me where I need to look on the harness to reconnect it?

I'll have to look in the book to see which bundle the oil pressure wire came out of....my 412 is not yet "handy" to go look at.

The heat exchangers...the best thing I have found for this is a pan about 6" deep that you can submerge teh exhcangers into...and use a fairly hot solvent...paint thinner with about 10-20% MEK. You want to dissolve the oils by soaking and pouring through with something that can overpower the baked on oils in places you can't reach. Then usea very strong detergent like castrol purple stuff and a pressure washer at the car wash.

Then...let it rust for a few days and soak it with Ospho to neutralize all rust inside and out. Let that dry for 24 hours. Then paint with high temp paint. Ray
