So, I need to pull my Coyote out of my 2011 for a refresh. I've searched the DIY threads and this forum and haven't turned up much regarding the details of an engine pull. I did find the Ford service manuals linked here and an engine removal procedure doc is included. I will follow the manual, but will have to adapt to accommodate my modifications. Any helpful tips before I get started would be appreciated. A couple specific questions:
1) If there's a good thread covering a Coyote engine pull out of an S197, first, mea culpa, second, where is it
2) The Ford procedure refers to a specific engine lifting bracket, and more importantly, and engine support bar that takes the weight of the engine to the mounts and transmission safely unbolted. How critical is the specific support bar? What are specific techniques to pull the motor without the bar?
3) What's should I do with the LT headers? Unbolt them at the manifold or pull them out attached to the motor?
4) How much under car work should I expect? I have a lift in my garage, and it looks like besides draining fluids and releasing the trans from the bell housing I don't have to do much more under-side disassembly.
5) Anything to particularly careful of that's not clear in the removal instructions (In the Workshop Manuals thread in this forum from 2010)
Thanks all
