    ok so mechanic finally finished the swap. unfortunately the engine won't start and he is getting a hybrid error. he claims a scan shows there are 4 dead cells on the traction battery. I am finding it very hard to believe since I remember starting it with no errors before towing it to his shop.

    could he have messed up the hybrid connections to the new engine??

    I did just replaced my engine on 2012 gen3 and did it with a hoist. It will be very difficult without one. Either use a hoist from top or lift the car up (watch for the windshield ) and remove the black pulley.

    Gen 3 has a belt pulley on the side of the water pump that has no belt on it (gen 2 has the belt) remove that pulley in order to remove the engine easier up.

    It does?! Where? You said on the side of the water pump there is a belt pulley but no belt? Can you elaborate please.
