Join us on this exciting journey as we undertake a first-time engine removal from our Acura NSX project #.lochnsx. As you already know this car has an amazing backstory - it's a true survivor, with its engine being submerged underwater for over 16 years!

We dive deep into the nitty-gritty of car restoration, tackling rusted bolts, using penetrating fluid, and getting our hands dirty. Despite the challenges, there's always a silver lining. It was surprising to find parts of the engine in commendable shape, even after all this time.

In this detailed video, we guide you through each step of the process. From removing the lower bolts from the struts to disconnecting the sway bar links, shifter, and emergency brake cables as well as carefully disconnecting the engine harness, air box, fuel lines, coolant hoses, and other vital connectors. All this is done with the utmost precision, preparing the car for the engine hoist attachment.

This video is not just about the process, it's about perseverance. Despite most of the bolts being in less-than-perfect condition, we proceed with diligence and care to separate the subframe from the engine.

Whether you're a seasoned car enthusiast, a budding mechanic, or just love a good restoration story, this video is for you. Witness the process of bringing this Acura NSX back to life - one bolt at a time.
