The engine is almost ready to come out. Over the last two weeks, I've removed the catalytic converter, downpipe, oil coolers and lines, lots of hoses, starter, power steering pump and lines, brackets and other small parts. The other things that connect to the engine (wiring harnesses, vacuum lines, etc.) have also been disconnected. Once I disconnect the AC compressor from the block, I should be able to pull the engine out.
Here are the parts I've stripped out so far:
Isn't it amazing just how many components (besides the engine itself!) are needed just to run a gasoline-power vehicle? So many parts. So much complexity. I don't know what every part does, but each one must be there to serve some purpose. Which means, each one is a potential point of failure.
By comparison, an electric car is simple and easy to understand. I wonder what they have more in common with: A gasoline-power car or a Stomper?
