Avant Engine Out
This afternoon I removed the engine from the Avant. This time it took a bit longer than it has in the past, partly attributable to being a car that I’ve not worked on before and having some components that are not as removal friendly as ones on my Silver S4.
With the engine out of the car I began removing items from the engine in preparation for detaching the transmission. My plan is to use the transmission with a lower mileage engine, and to sell the Avant’s engine.
Avant Engine Pull Checklist Complete
All preparations are complete in readying the Avant’s engine for removal.
A little extra fun with this motor on account of the Oil Cooler that needed to be removed before the AC compressor could be lowered.
In other news, the rear differential is now in the hands of ET Tuning for the installation of an MFactory Helical Limited Slip Differential.
