    Engine hoist to pull motor?

    Thanks for the advise everyone. I am going to give it a go with a floor jack this weekend. Since I am replacing the motor, I guess I'd rather screw up the removal than the install!

    Engine hoist to pull motor?

    I need to pull the motor on my Vmax. Do I need a hoist to do it? For the guys who have done this, are there any other special tools I would need? I would like to be prepared before I get started. Thanks in advance.

    Cracked Crankcase. Now what?

    I took a better look and I am definitely missing a piece of the crankcase. Looks like no more matching vin #'s.

    Cracked Crankcase. Now what?

    Hi guys, I am new to the forum and the Vmax as well. I got a hold of an 85 Vmax with 24K miles that had been sitting for at least 6 years. I spent the last two months rebuilding the carbs, brake cylinders, clutch cylinders and fuel system. I finally got it running again, and on the maiden...
