Author Message   Buell82 Posted on Thursday, June 21, 2007 - 01:57 am:        Hi there...I just recently undertook the task of removing my engine from my '97 S3. It was one HELL of an ordeal for me. Mostly because I did not have a good method for supporting the engine, and keeping it steady. So...my questions is if any of you out there can help me build something to make the re-instalation of my engine go much more smooth. I would like to build some kind of craddle for the engine to rest in. If any of you have any demensions for something like this I would greatly appreciate it. I would like my engine to go back in better than it came out,so any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Mike   Rick_a Posted on Wednesday, June 27, 2007 - 11:57 pm:        Try strapping it to a transmission jack. That's the easiest way I've seen it done. I don't have any such thing and do it the hard way.   Bad_karma Posted on Thursday, June 28, 2007 - 12:32 am:        Mike Don't know the condition of your build, but with the primary and transmission out the engine is a lot easier to handle, but if it is together disregard.

I built a cage of sorts out or threaded pipe to suspend the frame.
