Batfink 201 Posted April 10, 2007 I have an engine almost ready to come out. Will I need to drain it of oil or can I remove it using an engine crane without it pouring out a random hole? I'm veering towards draining it as it would be better to make a controlled mess Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sandy 191 Posted April 10, 2007 few things are more annoying than discovering the hard way an engine hasn't been drained! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
