Thanks for all your replies and info. I have the next question, which is :

Am I better off getting a rebuilt engine, and if so, what are my options?

But I will start a new thread for that.

Thanks again!

Full details from floor to car:

2X12
Quickjack 5000
Quickjack Frame Extensions
Quickjack Large rubber block
Quickjack small rubber block

I jacked the car up and put ramps under the tires to allow me to stack all the components on/under the quickjack frames.

I added a pic, but it does not seem to be showing up in the post.
Thank you for the pictures Fred and good luck with finding a good replacement engine! You should have a few different options.

Fred;
are you still interested in my used motor? I'm becoming "motivated", haha. :dance:

'04 'S' 3.2L'
87k-ish miles.
No IMS no RMS done under my watch (no indication it would want it).
Good compression numbers
Good cam deviation numbers
no bits of anything in the oil filter.

Located in Utah. I'll crate and ship, N/P. :D

Maytag - I have sent you a PM.

It was a bit long to post in this thread.

Good Luck, my friend!

on jack stands, its more finnicky, but not a huge deal. I you are going to be on jackstands, I highly recommend the harbor freight lift table. basically you just remove your rear bumper, exhaust and wheel the engine out.

If dropping both the engine and transmission what else needs to be detached?

Lots. Have a look at the Pelican DIY procedure for engine removal, on their site.
