Engine removal for waterline replacement ???
I'm having some work done on the cooling system om my 88' 311. It has 420's and TRS drives. The mechanic said that one of the lines has collaspsed and he's not sure how is going to replace it, he said he may need to pull the engine????
Not sure which one but I believe he said it was either from the sea strainer to the sea pump or the sea pump to the circulating pump. Either way I don't see why the motor would need yanked unless he's trying to rack up the bill.
Any thoughts?

I just saw the guy and the hose he's talking about it the hose from the sea strainer to the sea pump. Does it look easy? No, does it look hard, no. If anything pull the intake hose off which I'm sure ud have to do to get out of ur way and then pull the strainer out. It's just sitting on two screws. I told the guy if he can't do it I will. I told him order the parts and get it done by wed. Over night them if you have to.
