[V8] Engine removal

[Brian P.]

Ah, well me thinking a newer car has a much more complex engine with 
computer chips and such would be a little harder than what I'm used to 
dealing with (puny 1.6 L VW engines), but I'll give it a shot, because after 
you guys explained it a little, I guess it's not all that different, just a 
little bigger engine!
