Removal

• Before you can strip an engine, you must take it out of the car and separate it from the transmission. This alone is an arduous process requiring a hoist and power tools to remove the block from the chassis. Once you have removed the engine, you can perform the actual stripping on an engine stand.
  
  

Features

• To strip an engine properly, you must take all moving parts off the block, including internal parts. This includes pistons, gaskets, pumps, gas lines, crankshaft, belts and electrical equipment. To make use of the parts, take them off individually and keep them separate as specific units.
  
  

Considerations

• Stripping a car engine can take a significant amount of time even for professional mechanics. You'll also need the appropriate power tools because many parts will be fused to the block or to each other.
