I'm sure Bill will be by later today to clear it up for you. Dude can smell which bolt you're talking about. He knows its chemical composition and how many threads it has. He knows which plant made it, and where the raw materials were mined. He once met the guy that designed the bolt and the guy bought Bill's drink. He has a shadow box containing that bolt on a wall in his garage, to match his silk boxers printed with the serial number of it.

did you remove the 3 bolts on the TC? then you put just a little pressure on the hoist to support the motor and push it away from the trans to separate
 
THANKS BOOST UR THREAD WORKED GREAT FOR THE ENGINE REMOVAL i have all TC bolts out ac pump alt pwr strin pmp cant find main harness plug for injecters or do i have to indevidually unplug the injectors? and if so do the little metal clips come off or just pull out some and unplug i pulled a liottle but i know how fuel stuff can be brittle and i am doing a sc swap do i have to have heads from a sc motor or just intake and pulleys ect?
