I raised the car up quite substantially on four jackstands, before winching the engine out. I lower the car back down as I gradually raised the motor. This kept the motor from hitting anything. Fortuantely, I had already removed the starter, manifolds, and alternator.
Walrus, My old B18 has IPD upgraded front and rear seals. However, in the interest of simplicity, I had been gradually purchasing the various parts to rebuild my *other* B18, including upgraded seals. I got a rear seal housing on eBay but the seal fit is not as snug as I'd like. I have a couple of spares rear housings and may wish to take you up on the sale of a new updated housing. If you recall, we already transacted for an improved front cover. On that note, I need some advice on how deep to install the new seal - flush, inset, etc? I was a bit concerned about oil return drain hole...
