Engine out

Today’s the day, but that’s not my picture. It’s from a great Miata site, www.miata.net. Also, I didn't pull the tranny, but a great picture, just the same... Anyway, rented an engine hoist for $35 and spent the next 6 or so hours pulling it out. The instructions in the Miata Enthusiast's Manual were real good, except for the part about disconnecting the relay under the dash to disable the fuel pump. They wrote it using an English car and said they weren’t sure if it was the same for a US car. Well, it is. It’s a bright yellow relay, just like an English car. Other than that, it went out nice and easy. Took the flywheel and clutch off, since I’ll need them later, and called the buyer to bring his truck over – saves money on the hoist rental if you can get it to the buyer within the same 24 hour period.
