    Okay, I have the car off the ground but seem to have run out of PB Blaster. Going to get some tomorrow,

    What I did today was
    1. Removed the coils
    2. Removed the spark plugs - They were only a couple of months old when the engine blew up
    3. Removed fuel injectors - Only a couple o9f months old when the engine blew up
    4. Removed both headlight assemblies
    5. Removed the inverter coolant pump

    Tried to removed the inverter but the security screw stripped out.
    Going to use a grinder tomorrow or Thursday. I don't think I need it.

    Got the catalytic converter and resonator removed. I need to get new gaskets I think?

    I probably would use new ones if/when installing it into a car I own. But... if the old gaskets look really good and I were just storing the part for now, I might secure the gaskets to the assembly in case I sell it to someone, the buyer might want them...
