What happens here

The vehicle is positioned on a lift. The new engine is then carefully lowered into the engine bay using an engine hoist. The fit is tight, and the engine's oil pan immediately makes contact with the steering linkage, preventing it from seating correctly. The engine is then slightly raised to prevent further damage.

Goal: Attempt to fit the engine into the bay and identify clearance problems.

Tools and materials

Engine Hoist — Lowering the engine into the engine bay
