Hi, unbolt the motor mounts and jack it up under the harmonic balancer. You have to clear the oil pump and pickup tube. It can be done. Good luck

Thanks that’s what i did worked out ok. Its ended up a while I’m in here might just do rear main seal and a bolt broke off in the timing chain cover so the front main seal too and new water pump and t stat oh and new hoses. Better stop now before it becomes a frame off!!!
