But all that stuff is A LOT easier with the motor out, I'd also do the spark plugs as well.
I decided to pull the motor to make a few things easier. In addition to all those seals, I'm doing engine mounts, I'm doing the steering rack, and I'm re-doing alot of the clutch stuff for my 5MT swap. All of those things will be SOOOO much easier with the motor out. I think it'll take me less time to pull and re-install the motor than it would to do just the clutch stuff if I left the motor in there. Thus the reason I did such a crappy job the first time around
