The video advises organizing the work area and taking close-up pictures of components for reference. It covers steps like removing the hood, disconnecting external engine components, and eventually using a hoist to lift and remove the engine. Part 2, titled "Inspecting and Disassembling the Engine Block," begins with a recommendation to obtain the shop manual for the specific vehicle. The video emphasizes the necessity of referring to the manufacturer's instructions for accurate information. Visual inspections of the engine, including fluid leaks, harmonic balancer condition, and signs of overheating, are highlighted. The video suggests checking the ID and casting numbers to ensure the correct engine model. Further steps involve inspecting external components, removing the exhaust manifold, and systematically disassembling the engine by taking off the oil pan, valve covers, and cylinder heads. The video guides viewers on checking cylinder bores, using a micrometer for bore diameter, and removing ridges with a cylinder reamer. The process continues with removing piston and rod assemblies, emphasizing the importance of careful handling and marking for reassembly. Finally, the video instructs on removing and inspecting the crankshaft while preserving old main bearings in order. Throughout both parts, the video encourages meticulous documentation, referencing a shop manual, and using proper tools for a successful engine rebuild.
