Hiya guys,Having a go at my 1st engine removal, and just wondered why I need drain the engine oil if i'm throwing the old engine away?  Is it just being ecologically responsible? Cheers Kev ________________________________________ Team Supercharged |

Define "throwing it away"? Sooner or later it'll be taken apart, and someone's going to get a bucketload of oil all over them. Why *not* drain it, if you can remove an engine I'm sure you can remove a drain plug...? ________________________________________ Membership expiring soon, get in contact on our new little forum project. |

 You can't just 'throw' an engine away!It has to be dismantled and treated as scrap metal, which is why the oil needs to be drained off and disposed of properly. ________________________________________ Rich |

It's got a blown engine and i just fancy at having a go at putting a replacement engine in. As you know, having been made redundant I've got a few hours on my hands !!! I miss my supercharged 6, hope it went to a good home, I'll have another when things pick up. Kev ________________________________________ Team Supercharged |
