I don’t recommend anyone dropping this motor from the top. As big as a suv may sound, the engine bay have zero space. I had to tilt the motor in one side at a time and then lining up everything was a 2 day process.
Still taking it easy with the cheap oil to flush out all the dirt,coolant, and assembly lube that is still in there.
Anyways, this job kicked my ass as far as labor. Parts were just a little over $3k for all gasket, bearings, timing components and a lot of misc bolts for rebuild.
