Depending on what your end game is, the top of the motor usually has to come off first to get room to move or take the front end apart to move forward.
A lot different than a car.
Good luck.

The only thing that really needs replaced is the block because there is a hole the size of a quarter on cylinder 4 but I figured might as well change the whole motor
