2.3 16v engine removal

Spent the day yesterday cleaning up the arches prior to welding and thought, as I'm going this far with the car I might as well whip the motor and box out.

That way I can give the engine bay a right good going over and make it mint, then whilst the engine is on the stand I can send the head off to have it refurb'd and clean it down so the whole thing looks lovely and shiney.

I've done quite a few engines in my time, most recently a V8 from a Lotus Esprit Sport350, so I'm not expecting any problems..........but.......

any advice on any particular things to look out for would be appreciated before I get cracking.

As with any iron-blocked engine, it pays to check the core plugs.
