I have a few questions. Hopefully, some of you with experience will give me your feedback. Thank you in advance

1. How long does it take to pull the motor out of an S? In hours please,

2. How log would it take (if you knew what you were doing) to strip the block and rebuild it? I'm talking labor hours here based on having all the parts.



Thanks I appreciate any responses

 

One of our NE members (bo(red)) has the engine removal down to 3.5 hours. His friend has been having turbo trouble and the engine has been in and out quite a few times now for long block replacements.

That's all I can help you with for now.

 

book time

engine replacement 11.8 hours
Complete Assembly With Transfer Of Parts

Long Block replacement would be 15.3 hours
ncludes: R&I Engine And Transfer All Necessary Components Not Supplied With Long Block.

overhaul/rebuild would be 25.3 hours
Includes: Disassemble & Clean Engine, Ridge Ream & Hone Cylinders, Fit Pistons, Rings, Pins, Main & Rod Bearings, R&I Engine, Grind Valves & Tune-Up.

 

Actual time for repair can take much longer that "book time"

 

can pull the whole motor out about 4hours
and strip and rebuild depends on what it need to be done (send out to machine shop etc) but actual just taking apart and put together about 4-6 hrs

 

thanks for the info
