Engine removal question

YES! Because 5k was waaaay more then was budgeted and there isn't money for Unnecessary expenses because someone on the internet said it was a better way. (I just put that answer in there for an extremely typical scenario)
And just four arguments sakes LOL and I'm just kind of $hitting with you here totally..BUT, I knew the perfect world scenario was the answer that was coming where you mark everything and put it all back together and it works completely the same LOL LOL LOL somehow just not in my world LOL

So, you're doin an engine swap where 5K or more has been spent on a power plant and you wanna grip about a 79 dollar alignment?

That said, you could mark the cam bolts and put them back in the same positions, OR you could knock the upper ball joints loose and leave the UCAs in the car. Problem solved.
