well, I'm a GM tech working in a GMC dealership,Im doing all the work in my spare time. actually I just finished pulling the engine out for the second time. its funny how easy and fast this one came out. probably took me about an hour and 1/2 in my spare time., just unzipped it......
you know guys, its a lot easyer to remove the harnness from the PCM and pull it out of the firewall and disconect it when the engine is outside. saves a bunch of time. also this is the best time to replace that leaky power steering high pressure hose . I say this because the first time around I dint do this and ended up doing it the hard way... its not imposible , its just frustrating a bit and takes bit of time.....Ill also take the time to make that old CAT close to the turbo breath a little better for a couple more horses....

I gess ill get that radiator cleaned also...
I've thought about doing the head gasket before dropping the engine but just cant help but drive my supra.
