Throwing a rod

This Mitsubishi Endeavor came in for a blown engine.  Seams like the connecting rod did not want to be a part of the vehicle any more and out the bottom of the engine it came.  Needless to say the engine was not salvageable and we ended up pulling it out to replace it.  After looking the vehicle over for a couple of minutes I figured that coming out the bottom is the best way and then swap the engine and put it back up in the vehicle.

We ended up removed the engine though the bottom still attached to the sub-frame and transmission.  Ended up being easier then trying to just yank the engine out of the top.  The new engine is now in and running great for our customer!
