Changing an engine in a 2011. Too much for amateurs?

I just want to throw this out there. The “book time” calls for the engine-motor(transaxle) assembly to drop out the bottom. The ICE (engine) itself plucks right out the top nicely. Pull the exhaust manifold or don’t, the choice is yours. The final time I did mine it was out, apart, together, and driving in 9 hours. But don’t rush, take your time, and most of all, have fun.

 

Do you have a director also? Hire actors to pretend to do the work?

 

You mean include other people to place blame on for losing parts or ending up with extra?

 

Anyone filming an engine swap, you have some pretty big shoes to fill. @Ragingfit's been there:

I love the adages. Just off the top of my head, a couple (parphrasing):

"If you're gonna be hyper, this is not the time"

"We're nearly out of the woods.... Sometimes I like it in the woods..."

 

I'm starting to like the woods.

 

I had a bunch of them typed out somewhere, can't find it now, lol. You're the plumbing philosopher.
