'87 5ktqa - EM r&r - while I'm at it - clutch too

[james accordino]

I have to agree.  At this point you've remove the head
and all the ancillaries, including the front end (for
the timing belt), so you might as well just lift the
block out.  I've done this and it's not so bad.  I got
a "cherry picker" (engine hoist) from Harbor Freight
yrs. ago after renting one about 15 times.  They cost
less than $300. and if you do alot of your own work,
they'll come in very handy.  They also break down, so
it's not like you've got this huge thing hanging
around (although I now do).  If you just want it this
1 time, they rent fairly cheap.
