I know I should never say never, but if I'll do any more extensive engine work, it will be on a Subaru ej25. So much easier.

About 2 years ago, I had some breakfast then drove my Subaru to the shop, pulled the engine, had some pizza for lunch, installed an engine that I had prepared in advance with new head gaskets and a timing belt, then drove the car home for dinner. All hand tools, and the car on ramps. My tenant was using the lifts.

Even doing the head gaskets and the timing belt on those things is a breeze.

My brother's friend is a lot like you. He has a shop and they only work on foreign and Exotics.
