I have a 91 dodge stealth and i was needing to know if any one knows how to get the motor out... Could some one tell me how? i was needing to know as soon as possible because i dont have internet at home and i am at school right now. I am sorry for posting this in mutible topics but i really need to know as soon as posible.

 

Have you ever removed an engine before?

Pull the drive axles, remove all wiring harnesses and tie them out of your way, depressurize the fuel line and remove from engine, drain coolant and unhook radiator hoses and pull radiator, remove battery and tray, remove vacuum lines. What you do with the refrigerant is up to you, there is quite a large penalty if you get caught releasing it into the atmosphere
Support engine with hoist/cherry picker, remove motor mounts. Raise engine until you can easily remove power steering line. Double check that there are no more harness, wires, hoses still connected. Remove engine and tranny together.
Some of the bolts aren't exactly easy to get too, don't forget things like tranny lines (for ATX) speedo cables, o2 sensors.
That is the basics, if you have never removed an engine before, I strongly recommend you do it with someone that has done the job before.

 

I have removed one befor in a 97 saturni had but some one told me that the stealth motor cones out the botem and i didnt kno what they were talking about i guess they didnt eather.. Thanks for the reply theStealth. I already have all the hoses unhooked and everything i just wasnt sure whitch way to bring it out ... it looks like the trans is tucked up under the fender well alittle will that mater or will i be able to move it around it?

 

you may concider getting a chilton's other service book to help guide you/give you an idea on what you're doing

 

Do you know where i might be able to pick one of those up at?

 

I don't think Chiltons made a manual for these cars...you can order an official service manual from 3sx.

The engine does come out the top, with some manuvering you shouldn't have any problem taking it out with the tranny hooked up. An extra set of hands is helpful in guiding it out.

 

Ok thanks i will have my buddy bring hos cherry picker over today after school and get it done. Everything is already unhoked except the stearing and the mounts i already have exaust dropped and fuel lines d/c along with radiator out and hoses disconnected ... drive axles are out as well so i think i might be able to get it out today.

 

Let us know how it goes...and any tips or tricks you discover along the way.

 

Will do as soon as i find the time to do it i had to work this weekend where i was supose to be off but you know how that goes.

 

ok, well maybe not the "chilton" brand but they do make service repair manuals, that's all i was suggesting
