Others have responded well, but I'd add also that installing engine
just once was beyond my ability to plan ahead and think of
everything. Especially in tri-gear, re tunnel access issue (and now
bungees...!).
R/R of engine (without fluids to drain) can be a snap. I have a
made-in-Taiwan electric hoist with remote up/dn buttons. The engine
mount bolts (installing) can be a bear, so I used temp threaded rods
with nuts. They're looser. Thence, one by one, swap with the good
ones, still hanging just so on the winch to ease loads on them.
