Troll Hunter Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 I'm about to remove the engine and transmission, as a combined unit, from my 110 CSW and need some advice, please. When it is out, are there any special considerations regarding setting it on a concrete floor? Should it be supported in specific locations to avoid sump deflection/damage, for example? Many thanks, in advance, for any advice. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve200TDi Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 Yes, I would try to avoid sitting the engine on it's sump. Maybe try and support it on each of it's engine mounts. The gearbox and transfer box are all solid, but as the transfer box drops down diagonally, it may need chocking with wood as the whole unit (engine ans boxes) may topple over!

Arjan Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 I never put engine & gearbox straight onto concrete. Get wooden block and some planks to level the thing out - and make sure it can fall over : they are very unstable.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troll Hunter Posted August 4, 2017 Author Share Posted August 4, 2017 Thanks for the guidance, both. It's now sitting on wooden blocks under the engine and g'box mounts, and I still have the engine crane attached, temporarily, until I get something safe for the long term.

oneandtwo Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 Make sure you chock under the sump, I had one sat on the floor and it fell forwards onto the crank pulley and bent the crank! Luckily I had at least five spare 300tdi's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
