Need help pulling engine in NoVA
Sorry if this type of post is not allowed. Close if necessary Ken.
Anyone willing to work for pizza &/or beer to help pull a 2.3L from my Ranger in the Northern VA area? If you have a hoist and are willing to help I would really appreciate it. This was the problem:

i thought so to and when i noticed 2 posts i felt sorry, lol.
it only took an hour for my 2.3 in my 83 ranger(had out like 4 times in 5 years) and 1hour 30min for the one in my 85 ranger(i had to replace becouse i blew up) and several hours to put it back in becouse i couldnt get it to slide into the tranny right so we pulled the tranny and then put it all back in

G2IC,
Too far away from me (Atlanta), but, if you need a hoist, Autozone rents them. You can buy one fairly cheap from northerntools.com.
Sorry to see that head bolt snap. Someone just gave me a 1995 2.3L I am fixing up and trying to make road worthy. Just needs a motor mount.

Sorry, it is a common term in the metro area.
NoVA = Northern Virgina, (also only a few min from Southern MD and Wash DC)
Thanks guys for the humor.
rebocardo - I know I can get one from Advance Auto or Sears, but it is not easy to pick up with a Civic and funds are a little tight at the moment (holidays you know). It can be done, but I figured I haven't had good pizza in a while so maybe someone else wants some too.
Besides, I could use the extra hands, and I'd hate to have to ask my "Honda fanatics" for help since they love ragging on my POS.
