Worst so far - the JS engine (same hydraulic head as an MC or MB) off
John Robinson's Passat, sometime last year.

Eventually we wound up with the head bolted to an old railway sleeper (I
think you guys call them 'ties').  My 18-year-old (swimmer) son had the
three foot pry bar, and I had charge of making sure the two
hundredweight railway sleeper didn't leave the ground.
